Ha, 8 of 6!

Great job !!! Fabulous !!

[@MorganwwMurphy]

Amazing job. I need to put a red reflector over the holes in my rear fenders rather than the unsightly ruin guards. Wish we could source new yellow reflectors for up front!

[@Paul355c]

Morgan, great point about the reflectors. You obviously know about the holes from an earlier spec that were covered by side guards. I agree that those were unsightly. I also agree about the front yellow ones. I’ve yet to find them anywhere. Enjoy your ride!

[@sasbbk5187]

Just found this video. Very nice project and great job you did take it to completion. Too bad you did not have one with the air suspension, you might of kept it. It rides much better than the defender.

Absolutely unbelievable beautiful RRC !!!!

[@Paul355c]

Thank you Bruno!

[@kakka8684]

incredible work

[@sasbbk5187]

BTW, what i forgot was to ask you, how you chose the headliner, since the original material is not sold through the dealerships anymore. Any specific make/manufactorer, any information would be appreciated. Thanks

[@Paul355c]

Right or wrong, I didn’t pursue a certain type of headliner material and ensure it was correct for the year and model. The upholstery shop just had a similar color ‘headliner material’ and I approved it. Good luck with your build.

[@greenneon7314]

Any particular reason you didn’t fill the holes where the light guards used to be? Are you planning on refitting the light guards?

[@Paul355c]

Great eye. It was actually an oversight on my part. During the paint phase I had everything (i.e. lenses) off and I forgot that the rear side lenses didn’t cover those holes, until I reinstalled them. However, i guess it sets it up for an easy re-install of those guards.

[@StephenHolden]

What size tires did you end up fitting in this beauty?

[@Paul355c]

Hello Stephen. The tires were installed by previous owner just before I acquired it and I don’t recall the exact size. I no longer have the truck but here is what I remember. The tires were just about 1-inch taller than the stock spec and maybe 1/2-inch wider than stock. Have fun.

[@mackalna802]

where did you find the LED bulbs for your turn signals for the front and rear, as well as the reverse lights? Appreciate it!

[@Paul355c]

Hello. The bulbs just came from my local auto parts store. In my region, that’s Advance Autoparts. However, it was partly a fail. It turns out that LED lights present too little or no resistance in the DC circuit (compared to incandescent bulbs) so the flasher and turn signal relays think it’s a burned out bulb and even though they flash, they flash fast like many older cars do when you have a burned out bulb. I kept some that don’t have a flashing purpose and switched others back to conventional. Good luck with your motoring.

Very nice job Australia 🇦🇺

[@abdelhassand]

Please let me know who did the recovering of your front seats

[@Paul355c]

Hello. It was a little local family-owned shop near my home in Richmond Virginia. The shop is called Page’s Upholstery.

[@abdelhassand]

Thank you I’m not terribly far away from Richmond. I will reach out to them. I’ve already called Rivas. Thanks for sharing information with everyone.

Hey Paul! Great build! I have so many questions - is there a way to get in touch? Best, Adam Clark

[@afarzad]

I was wondering if you ever wanted to sell this beauty, let me know. I’m so sorry that I sold my 1991 burgundy one few years back after 16 years with me.

[@Paul355c]

Good morning. Thanks for watching my videos and asking about the RRC. While I hadn’t originally planned to sell it so soon, I actually had another guy express strong interest and I decided to sell it to him recently. He now has possession and I’m already thinking about what I may do next. Admittedly I’m drawn to the process as much as the result. I hope you have a nice holiday season. Paul
