The Abandoned Rover

Thought id start a little thread for my rover, its probably not going to have many mods, more just maintenance and repair, maybe a few subtle touches.



it seems that no one actually likes driving this particular rover. i bought it off a guy at work who never actually drove it and it had just been stood for 6 months and he bought it off a old guy who never really used to drive it.



all it needed was a lambda (although probably didnt even need that as the eml has come back on) and a m.o.t was mine.



drove it for about 6 months and then it started loosing water, spent a fair bit trying to sort it, new pump and cambelt. still leaked and then started boiling over.



so i bought a new car and the rover was once again ''abandoned''



pictures do it justice, it was just left in a public car park for 6 months















arch started rusting













this is where it starts



washed with autoglym shampoo

clayed with bilt hamber

then used megs ultimate compound

then srp

then finished with turtle wax for metallic paint

tyres dressed with megs endurance

plastics boiled linseed oil



















plans:



get the bloody boiling over sorted

new pads and discs

do cv boots

rear boot leak (suspect rear light seal)

new tyres

tint fogs yellow
