Itemised Billing

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Paul said he had no problem with the prices being online, so here we go. Note that because I want it in black, the panels (excluding the internal ones) are a bit more expensive. If I was having a white one, I could knock 10% of the panel price.

  • 100″ Rollcage Frame – £1300
  • Pedal box (fitted) – £95
  • Screen frame – £80
  • Chassis prep* – £250
  • Roll cage fitting – £450

  • Internal lower panels including GRP tunnel** – £290
  • Upper rear bulkhead – £70
  • Rear floor*** – £185
  • Grill panel – £55
  • Front outer wing (pair) – £165
  • Front inner wing (pair) – £132
  • Side panel (pair) – £264
  • Roof – £209
  • Truck cab rear panel – £93.50
  • Upper doors**** – £264
  • Tailgate – £66
  • Rear inner wing (pair) – £135
  • Front roof hoop trims – £49.50
  • Bonnet – £148.50
  • Body cappings***** – £55

* Bead blasting, bracket removal / repositioning and cleaning.
** I have no idea what a GRP tunnel is (Glass Reinforced Plastic, the Internet tells me).
*** This is for a truck cab Tomcat.
**** I’m not convinced I want these (update 17/10/08 – I was right).
***** Aluminium channels to finish rear body and corners

Not on the list are the seats and harnesses, heated front windscreen or removable steering wheel.

What else am I planning on getting? Well, in a rough order of importance, and not including parts I need for building (rivets, bolts, duct tape and cable ties*, etc (all these prices are approximate):

  • Rear lights – £40
  • Pacet electric radiator fan + fittings – £100 (or maybe two smaller fans at £70 each)
  • X-Therm dual fan controller – £35
  • A car cover – £30

*I jest (I hope)
** Unless the ones I already have fit

I’ll be adding more bits to this post as I think of them. No-one is to add this all up and tell me – I don’t want to know, cheers.

It’s on!

Right, I’ve sent my deposit off so Paul can order the body panels and the roll cage parts I need. It’s officially on.

Nase and I are going to take the Range Rover apart at the beginning of November. I’ve emailed Paul to ask him if he minds me discussing prices on this site.
