Dakar kit car-unfinished project

Dakar Project.

Bought 7 years ago as a non running project, previous owner had built this and then parked it up after only 500 miles (see odometer), the truck was then parked in a container for 8 years or so.

V5 in my name, registered as a Range Rover Convertible 1976 (currently SORN’d)

Originally fitted with a 3.5 Ltr V8 with the early fuel injection, this was found to be totally buggered (possibly why it was parked up).

Purchased a brand new 3.9 engine (built by V8 Developments, with their traceable engine number). £6,000

Also purchased a complete Mega-Squirt system which enables complete mapping of the fuel injection as well as making the system not so susceptible to water. £2,500

Sitting on 5 brand new 15 X 10 modular rims with 33/1250R15 GT Radial Mud Terrain tyres. £1,200

Custom colour matched Corbeau seats
