well took delivery of this old classic this morning at my workshop (pics to follow)

needs some welding to the floor panels and other areas of structure interior needs sprucing up with re covered seats and new carpet

the alloy wheels are in perfect condition

the engine and gearbox sounds super and just like the old rover v8 should sound

sadly the janspeed turbo is no where to be seen and it appears that the engine has been changed to a n/a (naturally aspirated for all you tech junkies out there)

so if anyone knows of any rover engines that would fit that do have a janspeed turbo i would like to know

this is my project for the next winter and probably part of spring

hopefully be ready for june july maybe on the road


pictures to follow as its sunday and really cant be bothered working.:)
 
good man, I am doing up a 1972 two door classic at the moment-major work to start in march when it starts to get warmer!!

What year is yours? does it have the grille?
 
hi fett

i believe they call it the cheese graiter! god knows why

its a 1988

1 of 7 made for sausi seik in saudi arabia
full white leather interior black centre console and black leather roof lining(no saggs)

am after a new exhaust system from manifold to tail pipe prefereably in stainless

yup on drivers side, passengers is mint lol I guess it never had more than the driver in it.

I also have to replace the rear crossmember and patch the sills a bit, plus intereior and if I am feeling rich the paint too.

I have got all my airtools and a compressor and a mig set and the rear crossmember arrived last week.

I am itching to get started but as I will be working in a carport I am holding off as I know when it gets seilly cold soon I will regret having it in bits for months or broken fingers and skinned cold knuckles!

I am looking at full stainless sytems for the 3.5 so far rimmer bros and double s are the same price at around £420 with liftime warranty but they dont have double tail pipes only a singe which isnt very original

I have heard bad things about double s too.

let me know if you find anything better
 
Hi Fett

found the bases of the c posts were fubar so gonna make some new ones up. remove the body from the chassis (with care) maybe re coat the chassis. go to town on it if you know what i mean.
im going to lro show next month if you wanna meet up
 
mines done mostly, just seems i am re-doing the bits some other people have done atm. carb trouble currently , and they were new too.

my mates comin friday to have a look and train me up.
