Hi, I'm Rob, I'm married and I live in Northern Italy. I have a 85 Range Rover Classic with the 3.5L Carb V8, European specs. I also have a 1997 F150 XLT 4.6L. I had a 1991 Volkswagen Passat wagon, great car, not fun anymore so I sold it. I'm a vehicle mechanic by trade. The truck has has some work done to it. Here are a few things to list...

Engine rebuilt approx. 4000~ miles
Custom Isky cam
Edelbrock dual plane manifold
Holley 390 4 barrel
sealed breaker-less distro w/MSD coil
new main/rod bearings
timing chain kit
Valve job
2” spring blocks
HD springs
New shocks
gas steering dampener
2” lowered HD galvanized shock turrets
Insa Turbo Dakar 265/75 R16 tires
Inclinometer
Vacuum Gauge
Volt meter
Oil pressure gauge
Air/Fuel gauge
42" cherry bomb muffler with side dump
12,000LB electric winch
winch bumper with a slight reinforcement to the front frame horns
Opel Astra alternator for higher amps

Still in the works:

4-1 Long tube headers(shipped)
Wheel spacers
snorkel(25% complete)
smaller steering wheel(have to remove the old one still)
Minor/Major dents and scratches
video/dvd for the rear seats(possibly a overhead console from an Expedition)
4 small bright as hell fog lights(shipped)
"Oooga" horn(shipped)
Need to fab a new rear bumper(tore the old one up)
High pressure fuel pump(have it)
HD Turret braces(have it)

Other than that I think that's it. Have questions please PM me. Ciao!

Engine and lift was done prior. I've been putting money into the functionality portion of the truck (winch, skid plates, bumpers, engine performance, etc...) and getting it stuck in deep mud holes.
