What did you do to your Rover today?

[utahseries]

Ran the brake pipes on the back axle case, had a new trunnion made for the clutch pedal, coated the inside of the gas tank with POR -15, bolted up the drag link, installed new fuel pump, new distributor, alternator, fuel feed pipe, put the pedal grommets into the footwell, and gave it some overall love

Welded my fabricated receiver hitch together, Degreased the parking brake lever and assy,, POR-15'd my rear Salisbury.. Not bad considering my wife had company over and I had to sneak away to get it done.

NICE! but it's too clean.. so is the fan...

..Talbot

fog lights

I am sure it won't be clean for long, will probably do a bit of olive drab to the black. The small lights are fog lights.

Jim,
I have never seen the rubber bump stops before, like them.
Had a failure of my back door latch this weekend. Could not open the door latch jammed in closed position (not locked BTW). Of course the fastners were all corroded and had to chisel off the top onewhich made a mess of the corroded latch box. Have a maintenance free bungee cord holding the door shut now. Timing is not to bad as I already have the parts on the way to convert the rotted door to a tailgate/liftgate thanks to some great people on this forum THANKS!!

Got a lot of tinkering done and wanted to tackle something major - finally replacing the front two shocks. I'd ordered 4 procomps a while ago when I blew out a rear shock.

I was pleasantly surprised that a liberal application of PB Blaster made the process of removing the old shock (front right) much much easier than the rear two.

I was unpleasantly disappointed to discover the procomps (ES 9000) are WAY to big for the front. That may be owed to having a 109 front end, or perhaps it is the springs on the front?

Either way, a good day of Rover work...well any day when it is still running once I am done with it is a good day.

Are you sure you put the rear shocks on the rear and the front ones on the front? did they compress at all?

You are wise to ask that of me
I double checked, all 4 are exactly the same (I kept the boxes).
The ones on the rear did compress a fair amount but did not bottom out. Even compressed fully they would not come close to fitting on the front.

I rebuild my Rochester carb and then the SOB caught fire.

So forget my rover. LOL
