Moose,
I noticed that you converted to a "ram air" heating/defrosting system. I'm considering doing this if I can't find a reasonably priced motor to replace my Smith's heater blower motor. What did you use for the scoop?--Mark

some may have seen Blueboy on other sites, yet, these are from our recent trip to P.E.I. (Red Lane) and parts of NE (Mt Wash Auto Rd).
basically Blueboy is a NADA SIIa 109 wagon sitting on a 110 frame and drivetrain.
we use the Rover for travels all over and mild off-highway work.

Blueboy, that's a great looking truck.

we got the trap in PEI and carried it back to NY - some pretty interesting stares from the other folks on the highways.

Nice ride, man!
<Swiss spec> required the instillation of a Undershield ( gearbox skid plate) sound proofing under the bonnet and rubber skirting within the front wheel well.
I did not go back with the bonnet insulation, seemed to me it would collect moisture and make the bonnet frame more vulnerable to rot.

you got the old yellow lettering Rover flaps too like me - apparently a pretty rare item'67 sort of station wagon (limestone), '65 gray hardtop, '63 blue Station Wagon, '64 limestone station wagon in piecesComment

..( School bus yellow from the local craft store)
The older original style flaps the letters are recessed into the rubber where the ones supplied theses days have raised lettering and the material is not quite as stiff/dense. In truth the front flaps should be about half length of the rear and without lettering. But after installing the lettered flaps on the rear and liking the looks I could not resist the vanity of adding the same type to the front.

I saw an 88 once that had a clothes drier vent elbow sticking out the side. I probably work great but was ugly as hell.
