Series III Only....

[jrd51ox]

I thought it would be a nice to have a thread for Series III owners to display their rovers. *(mostly because that's what I own).

Don't get me wrong, I love all the series vehicles, but sometimes I only want to see other SIII's for ideas or inspiration.

They’re already jealous of our padded dash & synchronized transmission, why antagonize them further?

Don't forget our heavy-duty plastic grilles!

Wait, you occasionally only want to see SIII's for inspiration and then show a side view that shows very few of the things that make it different?

OK...

Here's my '73 109:








...Inspired yet?

[jrd51ox]

c'mon iiis, iis jealous of you...that be like being jealous of a little brother. there's nothing on a iii i want except maybe 24 splined axles, syncronized tranny, newer wiring, seats that only rotted for 30 as opposed to 50 years, larger brake drums and that girly (no offense to terri ann and the likes of her) power bake thing...

Don't be jealous.
Pick yourself up a Series III trans and put the guts in your Series II box.
You get a synchro trans and keep the better Series II clutch mechanism.

That's what I did.
Your get the best of both worlds plus a lower reverse gear.

Hey people, no trash talking or jealous claims on my end. Just enjoy seeing some pics of vehicles like my own, that's all. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Here is our '80 SIII 109 and '75 SIII 88. The 88 is being rebuilt as a SIIA due to a rollover.

Bob,
You wouldn't have an extra 8 spoke wheel kicking around would you? I need one for my spare.

[badvibes]

Bob-

That's cheating, both II & III headlights! Honestly I've always kind of liked that look and if parts weren't so scarce out here in the west I'd probably do it to my truck. Really like the look and color of the 109.

Secrets

Vehicles with padded dashes and syncro gearboxes really are not Series rovers just don't tell them.
