So I bought one of my dream cars a 1991 Range Rover Classic and over the next 8 weeks I'm going to be restoring this 30 year old classic into a completely new car. Follow along and subscribe so you don't miss any of the weekly episodes on Sundays @ 6pm.
The RRC is back on her wheels! In this weeks episode we finished the underside of the car and start to get ready for paint! Enjoy the ride!
Steve.

Personally I would have had the originally wheels refurbed and put them back in I think they are the most icon style for the vehicle.
Loving the build so far can’t wait to see the finished product.
Understand where you're coming from, but I wanted to put my own stamp on the RRC, this is a restomod not an original restoration. Maybe you'll change your mind when you see them on!
The dedication to this project is insane. Glad to see it come to life
Cheers Joe, appreciate that! Glad you’re enjoying the series
Lots of progress every week. These guys are phenomenal.
We're making great progress aren't we, the guys are great!
This looks great!! :) Another vote for the original wheels.
If you have the dashboard off (not sure how the Range Rover is) but might be worth to replace the heater radiator as a preventive measure. It's a five minute job with the RR as it is.. an a pain in the neck if you have to do it later.
Cheers Joao! Looks like I’m loosing the wheel convo, haha. Glad you’re liking the series, thanks for watching
Will also look into the heater radiator, thanks for the tip
Still loving the series and can’t wait to see the finished car! This is so interesting!
Glad you’re still enjoying it, thanks for watching! 🙌🏻
I sure do hope you use something like Fluid Film to keep the under body and the rest of the car rust free after this. SPRAY EVERYTHING! The smell will go away in about a month completely, and do that every year. Your ride will never rust after that. Even the small cubbyholes. As long as you get that stuff on the metal, it will keep it from rusting.
Currently restoring a Subaru Brumby, love following along with this build!
Ah amazing, good luck with your build and thanks for following along with mine 🙌🏻
This has been a great series to watch.
I am a little worried we're about to see a white Range Rover Classic on gloss black wheels however 😦
Full Essex spec...
Haha, it will all come together! Sticking to my guns and happy with the choices 😉 thanks for watching.
@@stevebooker Absolutely mate, your hard earned, your choices, your car. You've rescued one!
I think the chaps are great with you too, and the vibe from the three of you is really enjoyable. There's no pretense from you pretending to know everything about your car and they're very encouraging. I can think of a few mechanics who'd laugh and sneer in that environment.
Right there with you but I think that is what's happening. Will withhold comment til it's complete.
Loving the series my brother!!! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks so much Adrian, glad you're liking the series!
Been waiting for this!
Thanks for tuning in! Hope you liked the episode!
Always a pleasure watching these, super relaxing and insightful and overall just great having you back on our screens bro
Ah thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Glad you’re enjoying the content 🙌🏻
@@stevebooker 🙌🏻 Can't wait to see this beauty whipping about
The wheels are going to look too aggressive, especially in black, but the work is looking good. Red Polybushes are normally the sport spec, so the ride might be a bit harsh compared to normal. I think you were right in ordering the blue comfort spec, and it would have been worth having them send the correct ones, but they can be changed if you’re not happy with the result - at least they’ll be easier to swap than the originals.
Well done Steve!
So satisfying to see all the new shiny parts coming together😊😊
You’re telling me 😉 it’s unbelievably satisfying. Can’t wait until it all comes together
Short but lovin' it.
IMO i would have refurbed the original wheels and put the vinyl back on the rear D panels.. But it looks good.
Great series and really enjoying the progress each time. If I were honest though, I was a bit disappointed in the choice of colour for the car. I think a light flat grey or dark grey/bronze metallic colour would have been spectacular - just my opinion... Either way, hope it turns out great! Looking forward to the next episode.
I may be as excited to see the final product as you Booker.
haha, nice one Archie! Glad you're enjoying the series.
HUGE missed opportunity! 4:27 Spandau Ballet: True
Been loving the series! Always looking forward to it! I recently just bought a 2002 Land Rover Disco and wan to restore it just like how you are doing it with your car. Are you going to let us know at the end how much it cost to restore it? Also, hard to find a good reliable company here in San Diego, Cali that can work on Land rovers and know what they are doing lol. Took my car to a mechanic and ended up with more problems that I had to do than what I brought it in for. lol
Hey Steve, Would you do a rough cost breakdown in the last episode ?
Looking great.
Cheers Mark! Glad you think so, thanks for tuning into the series.
Cracking stuff Steve 👏
Cheers Oliver! 🙌🏻
I’m not ashamed to say this but I’ve been checking twice a day for this video Steve, I was getting worried buddy 🙏
Same😂
Haha, love this! Appreciate the support and thanks so much for checking in with the series
Great progress...! Is the Boge unit working properly?
Great series, making me want to sell my car and start restoring a rangey
Haha, cheers Alex! Glad you’re enjoying it
I've been enjoying this series. I think you're making a mistake with the wheels. I like that you've done away with the overriders on the rear bumper and you want it to be your own ideas but those steels, nah.
Those 3 spokes are icons. Id have them pwdr coated black with a diamond cut rim.
Its your car, but you're wrong on the wheels.😬
Great thing about wheels is that you can change them 😉 I’ve never been a massive fan of the tri spoke alloys. If I was keeping that original look I would have gone down a rostyle route. Once you see the RRC finished, maybe you’ll change your mind...
Hi Steve, really enjoying the videos! buzzing to see it finished 🙌. where did you guys get the boge levelling strut reconditioned? thanks
Who refurbed the Blue Boge self leveling unit on the back axle?
can only imagine how much cash is being dumped into this project
budget reveal!
Labour costs must be frightening 👀👀👀😬
Getting close Steve! It's going to look so crisp
It's getting there isn't it! Thanks for following along!
Steve B! Where are your brown boots from? Cool car man!
Hey J, I think they're Dr Martens. Thanks for watching!
Aluminium corrosion is a bit notorious- what are you guys doing to keep it from coming back?
almost everything underneath has either been powder coated or sprayed with a protective coating from Raptor after being cleaned/repaired/replaced
I’m worried about the corrosion on the alloy body panels - your doors looked really rough and the guy kinda glossed over how the wheel arches were prepped.
@@jamescheney5310
they covered it in more detail in previous videos .. taking out bad, repairing and painting
Just hoping to see more on the doors and stuff!
I’m guessing you’ve gone for brown. Don’t know why
I can confirm that the body colour will not be brown. Thanks for watching!
