Canvas care, cringeworthy modifications and the ultimate 3-Land Rover Garage
Description
In this week's episode, Martin and Steve kick off by answering a listener's question about a recently purchased Series I – is it a respray job, or can the paint be saved? Should the restorer rebuild the gearbox himself, or is it a specialist job? Where can he get a new canvas top from?
The boys talk the modifications that make them cringe, and discuss wheel cross-contamination between models works the best. Evoque rims on a Freelander? New Defender steel wheels on a Range Rover? What do you think?
There's chat about the Dakar conversions from days of yore, the right wheelbase for truck cab conversions and the optimal suspension lift height.
How can you save money on your insurance premiums? By being honest about modifications for a start – and the smallest things still count as mods. Being in the enthusiast sector can help more than you think...
There's a new issue of Land Rover Monthly out, and it's a bit of a Discovery special, including a very smart upgraded Disco 2 and a D3 that's knocking on the door of a million miles! Not only that, you can win a radio controlled Series II from Boom Racing, so be sure to get your copy today.
