What did you do to your Rover today?

[parrie]

Finally, after a several busy weeks at work, made arrangements for Daisy to be transported to my home shop...now the frame-off restoration can begin in earnest! No doubt this will keep me busy for the winter and beyond. I'm sure that I will be seeking info and words of encouragement...stay tuned.

I finally finished replacing the clutch hydraulics and it's moving under its own power again! Soooo much more to do, but an important step.

Made some Land Rover art.

Where are you going to mount it?

Everything came from our hosts except the muffler ( they are back ordered on the Proline till early november). Haven't smelled the exhaust but I can, what should I be looking for? It smells better in the cab because i'm not getting anymore exhaust gases leaking in.
It's a pretty easy job except figuring out how to get the front pipe alinged and in place. That took about as long as bolting everything else up. Hard to describe but you wil see what I mean. Not even sure how I did it, all of a sudden I had it just right and the back end of the front pipe made it over the cross member.

This job has been in the back of my mind. Where'd you get your parts? Honest question, does the exhaust smell any better?

Installed a new front pipe, mid pipe and muffler and all new hangers.

Installed a new front pipe, mid pipe and muffler and all new hangers. Truck sounds so much better and has more power. Amazing what a drop in horse power a rotten exhaust causes. Stripped one of my brass manifold bolts so I need to order another but it will be ok for a few days with just 2. Old exhaust was shot.

I received my new to me 58 S1 109 on Friday. Truck is nearly rust free from Idaho area. Spent a little time getting it running.
Didn't start when we rolled off the truck. Spent about 1/2 hour in pouring rain with no luck. Pushed it in the garage with my tractor. Drained the transfer case, gearbox, fronta and rear diffs and replaced the fluids. Still need to do the swivels, steering box and steering relay. Not sure how to drain the steering box or relay, hay just top it off. Dropped a midasized exhaust. Manifold nuts came off well. See a number of task to take care of as it has been sitting for quite a while. With winter (salty roads) coming and a bugeye project in the garage it will be going to sleep for the winter pretty soon.

Fixed leaky Heater Valve. Had to solder it permanently in open position on valve stem until I can get working part. Might go with a VW heater valve so I can control from cab as someone suggested on the site. Red Circles are where I soldered.

If you are really in a bind, and don't want to pull the trigger on a new valve just yet, put a plumbing ball valve into the line, and a hose barb in to replace the old valve. That will buy you plenty of time to research and source exactly what you want.

a winter storm coming in so retrieved them from the field out back where there were parked during the summer

After reading about it in another post, I replaced the wood shim I had on my hood to help the spare clamps work with an old hockey puck. Seems like a good move, but will check for looseness in a few days.

Got my home-built rack and rock sliders back from the galvanizing shop. New rooftop tent installed, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Just about ready for my first long trip.

Nice set up and the rack and rock sliders look great!
