Need suspension bushings and steering damper for my 90 range rover classic. Can you help me find them?

those arent exactly difficult to find :s u can get them new from sigma or rizwan autos or get "kabli" ones from noor sher (he recently moved his shop from shoba to pindi)

Nice work man!

Where did you get the parts from? Any places in Karachi.
And how much did it cost for the restoration approx. Am thinking of going on similar project.

Also what are your views on Classic vs P38? In terms of restoration and maintenance and availability of parts?

Thanks

i dont exactly have a number but u can find him on ijp road (on left side when going towards pindi)

Most of the parts were obtained from an NCP Range Rover. Im sorry but i didnt really keep track of the restoration cost but it really wasnt all that much. You should totally go for it!! very lovely and interesting vehicle to restore.

to be honest i prefer the classic to the p38, its much more simple to work on and a lot more reliable. plus p38 parts are quite expensive

sorry for the late reply btw!!

Here's a recent upgrade i made to the Rover

Old ride height (on stock slightly saggy springs)

Old vs New springs

Installed

Oops, stock size tyres won't do anymore!!

Time for an upgrade from 29 inch to 32 inch

Another small mod, plastic sill trim was in really bad shape anyway...

Cut out a template from 10 gauge steel

Test fit...

Reinforce with angle iron and chassis mounts

Added a tubular step/tree guard

Kinda looks like the stock one on a defender :O)

Success!!! bore the entire jeeps weight on a single slider without bending or damaging the sill

Excellent work, good to see the rocksliders doing their job!

Thanks, i'd say they were single handily the best investment made into the Rover so far...

Please post some pictures of the Range on a level surface so that the height with the new springs can be appreciated.

Here you go, a bad quality pic but the best i had atm

About as much ground clearance as a defender now

Very tastefully done

Do you know of any members who own Rangies? I have been in love with these classics since I was a kid.

Durrani90 (Durrani90) 2014-10-22 04:55:06 +0500 #58
