The Rusty Rhinos' Land Rover - Car preparation

Red, our 1963 Land Rover, was purchased on eBay for a tidy sum of £500, however Red was anything but tidy at the time, it somehow had an MOT on it although it certainly wasn't fit for the road. The amount of effort and time that has gone into preparing Red is not easily described.

Lewis, part of the Rusty Rhinos ground crew, has taken on this effort. Through his involvement in preparing Red for the rallies from day one when purchased in 2008, he is in an excellent position to tell you all about Red and the monumental effort in building this car from practically bare metal.

You can get to the article on the vehicle page of the Rusty Rhinos site.

This is a highly recommended read with some amusing photos.



Here Lewis can be seen willingly and kindly taking on the role of human painting jig.
