SOHC Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I know where there is a stash of NOS panels and mint bonnet boot lid, plus a couple engines but I am not sure what gearboxes are on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1179 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yes it was the barn find and panels are mostly good just needs a fix up on the front passenger door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost_bryan Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Sounded like a good deal. Seats just need recovering, or repadding as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbeam Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Nice find. My buddy picked up an identical one from a barn on the coast. One owner only 80k on the clock, reg on hold. Looked mint, but beware found a lot of surprise hiding rust when stripping it down. All done and painted now, should be on the road in a few months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piazzanoob Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 with the inboard brake setup i know that on jags that the whole rear subframe needs to be removed. but you just cut a hole in the floorboard and the job is 10x quicker this could be a very good idea on the rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1179 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 tbh its not a huge issue and the rear axle is under the fuel tank on a rover, any way think its like 3 bolts to drop diff on the rover due to the strange DeDion set up. but may look into an access patch if i can line it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
