Don't get paint stripper on the arches unless your replacing them. Plastic tends to melt with strong paint stripper. Ray

i have a running driving but needing lots of welding and an interior 3.9 v8 auto range rover classic

not quite a straight drop in but well worth it.

i have one in a 90 rag top already and its a cracking drive with plenty of power

Good luck! I got my handprinted 90 restored last year and it involved a LOT of rubbing!

Looking forward to seeing the end results Thumbs Up
