My rebuild.

liking those seats. they are similar to the ones i had in my SIII 109.

question, what are the metal cross grates you have behind the seats for? and what is the that little box with the gauge and switch for? it reminds me of a flux capacitor...

Yea, no kidding... If the S3 Lightweight was truly used military and FFR (Fitted for Radio), then it would have a load of junction boxes (ie: the flux capacitor !) to enable the Radio gear it housed in the rear attached to the rack, seated in rear, or sitting on wings...

What a great job! Are you planning on putting sills or a set of rock sliders on it? IMO, a series never looks quite right without them.

Thanks Jeff. Not sure what I'm going to do yet - would like to eventually put sliders on though.

I love the look of the Trakker seats - so far the closest I've seen to stock look with the added safety of the integrated headrest.

How is the support with those seats? I'm guessing they don't have springs. Can you log miles on them or are breaks necessary?

Can you tell I have a bad back?

The Trakkers seats are nice and way more comfortable than the old ones. The truck has only done 7 miles since the build so I can't really tell how comfortable they will be on long trips.

Nice truck. Where did you get the disc brake conversion kit from? What heater did you install?

Good luck getting a Rover with a 2.25 to 88 mph!

Turns out that due to the rovers coefficient of drag the terminal velocity reached in free fall is only 87 mph.

Thanks. The brakes are the Torrel kit from Rocky Mtn. and the heater is from Summit racing. I had to rework the heater box and coolant fittings to make it fit in the RHD. It turned out looking stock and uses the side vent as an intake. It moves a lot of air and puts out a ton of HEAT.

Looks like we have the same helpers. My rebuild kept me from going nuts when faced with a diagnosis of MS. Very useful them rovers and helpers.

That truck looks awesome!

What paint did you use? looks like you put a flatener in it.

If you are talking about the ser1, It was the grey primer before I painted it DBG.
