I fixed this in your signature. All good to go.

Hi Guys. I've got 733 about half way restored.

Here is a somewhat recent picture. That's my mechanic firing it up.

WOW is he ever "vertically challenged".
Good thing you have a Series as they are so cramped he can still reach the pedals!


Is that a new frame or did you redo the original?

[Richard]

That's a new frame from our hosts. The original was Swiss cheeze and rust scale. In some places the paint was the only thing holding the rust in place.

Yeah, he may be short (my 'mechanic'), but he works cheap, and he can remember things I can't. Like where I left the wrench.

Welcome to the Forum! Thank you for the kudos - nice first posting. Yes, the logos are way fun to design, I enjoy this. This idea came from similar designs I've done for the MINI Cooper crowd. Of course, I spent more time dialing the 109 in for the logo just right for you guys .

Where do I get my logo?

Poser!

Why do people get to call their trucks NADA when they arent?

Is it ok to call this NADA and refer to the lights as NADA? I feel like this person should change their listing as this isnt really an NADA.

NADA on the trail

All,
I took my dormobile on a great run this past weekend. My new water pump started leaking really badly just as the old one did. My fluffed up head has performed great. The engine is running smooth as ever. I did a few water crossings, a bit of mud and lots and lots of dust. There were seven series trucks, me being the only 109 wagon. There was a 109 pick up and 5 88s.

The 109 pick up was rolled on its side with minor fender damage but some more serious bulkhead damage. Luckily, the pick up top was off and was not damaged, nor was the driver! We had to winch it over from the next level of the road. It was a switch back at this point and I had to haul the winch line through about 150 feet of brush.

perhaps as a marketing method to gain more interest in the vehicle he has for sale?

NADA does stand for North American Dollar Area of which a 1964 Series IIa was available in NA.

I don't think NADA was only associated with the unique 109 SWs sold in 1967.

not a bad looking Rover though.

linus, that wasn't our very own MOMO was it? would love to hear more about the mendo run if you're interested in starting a new thread...

[Momo]

Yeah, that was me. Freak thing when I let my guard down. If Linus starts a new thread I'll tell the story. Also sent you a PM, Matt.
