johnnytheboy Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 So 4x4 related, if you were to embark on a restoration project of one vehicle, what would it be? Im going to do this in the next few years and I want it to be full restoration that will last, no corners cut, something that I will keep for a lifetime! Something that will be tun to take out on shoot days and spend the rest of the year waxing and inspecting for rust :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Heart says Rangy two door too, head says Jeep Wrangler as so much can be done with them and unlike the two door Rangy, parts are more prevalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Probably Nissan Terrano for me but each to their own. Having restored vehicles in the past I would suggest you make yourself very aware of what parts are available. Using the Terrano example the front wings are usually first to go and to the best of my knowledge you can't buy new. So figure out what will need replacing and if you can get the replacement.
