Trophy lights and rally mud-flaps also added:, although the flaps are a bit off centre, refit probably needed

looks good. would have thought red with red interior would be a bit much, but it works well.

Looks excellent, I was wondering how the red would go, but it looks great!

Very tidy motor mate, I like it a lot, make sure you get pics of the door cards once there fitted. :broon:


How much did they charge you for refurb ?

Cheers for the comments chaps!

That looks the Dogs Goolies fella. Loving seeing some of the parts you guys have had off me going to sweet looking and sounding cars. Puts a BIG SMILE on my face.

Last piece of the puzzle! Interior all done now, just a few odd details left to go.

Yeah mate it is, would be a nice to break up the dash with. Cheers anyway though!

You could do a dash swap?

At least the grain would match the doorcards also.

Hadnt thought of that tbh! might have to look into it, cheers mate.

Send us a PM if you want the strip. ;)

i've got a passenger airbag from a 200 if you wanted one.

Stunning, what a great job done...

That is perfect. There is no better way to describe it. Absalutely love what u have done there. Fair play mate :)

That looks great, Rover would have done well to offer something like that from the start :broon:

cheers for all the comments, much appreciated!

Quick update although not much has changed recently. Had to rebuild the drivers side front brakes as they had seized up and were pretty knackered, also replaced all tappetts following replacement head gasket. Runs so quiet now!

Only visible change is a bit of engine bay work, nothing major but worth a cheeky shot

Got a mk2 rear wiper arm, next task is a good clean and polish, tonnes of scratches to get out!

Give your engine a nice wash make all nice a clean nothing better than a clean engine

Got to do the same on my brakes too. :(

One of the caliper guide pins was seized solid on mine, had to replace the whole carrier in the end as it just wouldnt shift! Whats the problem with your's?

The N/S keeps binding/seizing, car doesn't get used anymore. :(
