I just purchased my first Rover a few months ago, and I'm new to all of this. She is a 1960 Series 2 88 MOD. When I picked it up, it was already in pieces. I hope I can get her put back together correctly. If anybody has any good advise, I'm all ears.... Thanks

Run...Run while you still can
In all seriousness....looks like you have a good project there. Lots of good solid rare parts such as a clean bulkhead etc...should make reassembly much easier. -
Welcome!!
Shawn,
Since it is all apart take the time now to soundproof the bulkhead, underside of the seatbase and floor panels. Put some inside the doors, underside of the bonnet/hood and do the roof.
Use good quality stuff like Dynamat. You will not regret it.

Good luck with both of them and welcome.Sean

Looks like a fun project. I'm interested in what you're painting with as mine is in the same state of affairs at the moment.1964 SIIA 109 | 1973 SIII 88 | 1995 RRC | 2000 DII | 2000 P38Comment

I went to a local O'Reilly's auto parts store and purchased a self etching primer. We have been spraying with Husky gravity feed spray gun. I haven't picked out the paint yet, hoping that will be soon. I'm going to attempt to use a one stage enamel paint. The keyword there is attempt..Comment
