1980 Ser III Lightweight...

like I didn't have enough oil on my garage floor already.

let the new games begin...

What color is that? The color has to be the spitting image of mine and I was told it was a Mazda color. Or something to that effect.



Looking good at any rate!

Not really sure what the color is officially. It is a RHD and has only been in the US a little over 1 yr, and it is not a great paint job. I plan to get stripping soon, and possibly go for Desert Sand...

cheers, mike

Here's my first Rover, it's a 74 Diesel RHD, imported ~6 years ago. Has a Fairey Overdrive (afraid to try it out), had a hard top w/ safari rack. Just removed it and installed a bikini top from a CJ7.

To do:
-Have starter/solenoid rebuilt - to eliminate bypass switches
-Rebuild spare rear axle - to get rid of leaky axle tube
-Locate or build a rear tail gate
-Have a 4-point roll bar built and add mounts for retractable shoulder belts
-Remove top halves of doors (bolts rusted solid)

Think that's about it for now. Doesn't look anywhere near as good in person as the photos. Rippled body panels, runs in the paint, hood that is no where near straight, cracked seals, etc etc. But it's fun to drive around and gets TONS of attention. We took it to the local concert series Friday night and had 5 people piled in it.


This weekend after removing the top:









If anyone has a spare tailgate around in the DC/MD/VA area please drop me a line!

I have a tail gate, im in Boone NC very close to the VA/NC line. What are your plans with the roof rack you took off? I'll also send you a PM in case you don't check back on this thread.

Here are some pics of the tail gate. Don't have the chain to keep it horizontal. When I bought the truck he also thru in a wagon door so I've gone that route. Check your PM for more details.

Nice,
Surprisingly good shape, considering the sit period.
I kinda like the 'natural camoflauge' patina as well... If you decide to paint it, first get some high quality pictures of it sitting in that old field... they would be a nice keepsake in the evolution of this old girl...

good luck, mike

[feildpickedrover]

thanks, and yeah it is in remarkably good shape, only the rear frame didn't hold up, i need to replace the frame from the rearmost tubmount back, if you notice its sitting crooked because the drivers rear spring is inside the frame, but it could have been a lot worse, my grandfather had rolled it bre parking it, that's why its got the blue parts on it, i think he was afraid of it after rolling it im planning on painting it black with white or cream top eventually, not original, but i like the color combo, and i haven't seen anyone do it on a rover yet

[derekchace]

My two Land Rovers I use for my Company. We use them to move players around the field and all sorts off odd jobs.

Here's my Series.

This is my '65 IIA 109. The paint job is cheap and not accurate (previous owner). Runs like a top. Best feature is the original Fairey capstan winch.
