What did you do to your Rover today?

[AustinK]

Basically I took the vinyl off the metal on the dash parts and had them bed linered. I then created a custom switch panel for my Ignition, Hi/Lo switch, engine fan, wipers, and washer. I also added to power ports and a volt guage. I left the speedo and aux guages the same just rebuilt and repainted them. I added a glow plug light and pushbutton. I put my fuses in behind the right side panel and made a custom door to access it. Attached is a pic of the upper dash. I'll take pics of the lower dash tonight.

plated the S1 today

Put the S1 on the road today and took it for the first ride longer than around the block. Runs pretty good, do see I have a carb leak.

Very nice truck.

Installed some headlight guards left over from an old jeep years ago and
removed the lower body skirting for more clearance or at least eliminate something
else to bend off road.

[alaskantinbender]

Raised the spare tire mount on the rear door and mounted my hi lift jack.
The old truck is looking more to my liking now. Still don't have a name, but it will come with time.

while you'r at it, you should add extra steel to the door frame and/or a third hinge to cope with the weight. The stock doors can warp and bend real easy with the weight of a tire on it all the time.

[alaskantinbender]

I have the third hinge planned. Where is the best place to add more structure to the door?
It does seem pretty heavy with the spare mounted.

Thanx

Installed a Pertronix electronic point replacement. Cranked and idled well, but haven't set the timing so didn't get it out and drive it.

I also installed a electronic kit, but Hot Spark. Seems to run very well and started right up this morning. replaced the hub gaskets, no more oil on the wheels. Got them from HNJ Engineering UK
