Rover Got a New Hat

[Bostonian1976]

I have seen a lot of dark colored trucks with a limestone top but never the other way around. I like it.

you better get a tailgate before the beer falls out, thats considered alcohol abuse in my book

My rover has is painted sand such as yours. I recently purchased a p/up top and tailgate and had to paint. I used Rustoleum "Almond" spray paint as a temporary fix and it is about as spot on a match as you can get from a can. You may want to try it on your new top.

There is something really cool about an 88 PU. Looks good!

Yeah it does look good. Are PU tops quieter inside than regular hardtops?

my hardtop has some sort of insulating/sound absorbing foil material on the inside, so I can't compare one to the other. this one had an 'echo' when I talked in it....but that may be the case with other hardtops that don't have the material I mentioned above...

The PBR proves that you are a "regular guy" and not a chablis-sipping elitist. Or something like that.
BTW: Milwaukee's Best is a great choice when cash is REALLY tight.

ha - all I know is it was a fitting end for a day of working on the brakes and removing/installing a top...it tasted damn good

yeah I remember Milwaukee's Best (or Beast as people used to call it) in my college days......well okay I kind of remember it

I think mine is considered limestone, and 'sand' is the other darker Rover color....right? I think?

[PH4]

I am pretty sure that is Sand but my eyes may be decieving me. I have always thought limestone was the white colored paint that Rover used as opposed to white.
