What did you do to your Rover today?

[Buster]

I've owned this S1 since March 25th. Spent time going over the electrics, ignition, refurbishing the fuel tank. Having some problems with idle and it kills down sporadically. No power. BUT! Today I drove it around the neighborhood for 20 minutes with no problems! I turned it off and tried to start it back up a few minutes later and had the old rough idle no power. Next is carb rebuild and cleaning.

over last week's two 75 degree days i pulled my engine and replaced the freeze plugs.. Now slowly getting the front end back together, some rust killing, new wiring, capstan install, etc etc.. Found my engine, chassis, and serial # are all correct -nice to know.

Here's the photo album:

Back in the Saddle

After a several month absence I finally began the tear-down of Daisy...both roofs ready to come off & working on wing removal. Pleasantly surprised that most bolts are coming apart, only had to cut a couple so far...disapointed that side frames are complete toast, oh well. Ordered new side frames, bulk-head feet and door pillars from our host.

Drove my rover for the first time in 2.5 years yesterday. Still need to finish the rebuild, but it felt great to see it move under its own power.

Lots of work this weekend, this is partially the result.

New Pinion Seal, lots of cleaning and grinding and new paint on the rear axle and new Parabolics and Shocks. On to the front.

Picked up a set of used Defender seats and a pair of Escape Gear canvas seat covers for my Rover today. While not for the purists among us, it should make those overland trips a little more tolerable!

Did you sit in my truck James? I think you'll really like the defender seats. They made a world of difference to me on long trips. 13 hrs down to Virginia on my old spring seats just sucked....
PM me the info about these seat covers. I may be interested in a pair.

Nice truck. If that didn't win anything, there must have been no Land Rover lovers in the judging group!

Easter Car Show

Yesterday was the Easter car show, didn't win anything, but we had great weather.

BTW how would I flush those out? Keep bleeding until I feel like all the fluid is new?

Suggest that you put in new seals, so you'd take them apart, clean them up and inspect the bores for pits and corrosion. Probably a good idea to just go ahead and install new, but that's just me.

Conversion Continues

Just finished the RH side of the ROAM Disc Brake Conversion - went pretty well considering it was the first time I'ver had the axle apart. I got really lucky in that the previous owner installed new swivel balls and new half shafts from terra firma - everything was in great shape. I just ordered my new dual circuit master cylinder and new lines. I am hoping to convert to DOT 5 fluid - the only part left in the circuit is the rear cylinders - BTW how would I flush those out? Keep bleeding until I feel like all the fluid is new?

I installed my new top.

Finding a suitable location for the plug was the hardest part. Most of the rear crossmember is boxed. That spot was the only place that gave me enough open area to bolt the plug to the crossmember without getting into trouble. I had to remove some of the the grab/lift handle. You can see it only has one bolt, when it should have two.

Oh, the other cool bit to that nato plug is that the back side is wired into a flat 4 male plug, so down the road when I need to use a different trailer, it'll be a plug n' play affair.

very cool truck and trailer combo.
Any trouble insetting the plug in the bumper?

Here you go. Couldn't figure out how to rotate them.

Thanx for the pix.
