The unfortunate warpage seems less noticeable in paint. Looks great, still!

Amazing build thread. I can't believe you are working so fast... do you have have a crew of Oompa Loompa mechanics you aren't telling us about?

I was just thinking the same... wow. His "honey-do" list is obviously a bit shorter than mine.

Great work

Here is us getting ready to install my new hard top with intergrated ROP on my 88.





Some say over kill,but can you really be too safe in a rollover situation?

I think I got the leaks under control in the steering box.



In my rush to install the steering box I overlooked the throtle linkage.Back off it comes.
Brake and clutch towers installed ,new lines run. Exust installed





All before lunch.

It doesn't look like there's a whole lot of stonework getting done over there!

Seriously though...Nice work Sean. You've got more done on yours in 3 weeks than I have in 6 years on mine.

You've gotta stop though...you're adding to the number of Rovers that my 109 feels inadequate being around.

Thanks everyone for the support.
Yeah ,not much stonework or anything else for that matter.My wife thinks I'm a Rover junky.If this doesnt push my marriage over the edge I think I'll keep her around for another few years.
My goal is to drive it out for the B by the Sea weekend (16 days). Truth be known I'm a little ahead of my pics in progress, but I wanted to streach out the thread and bore everyone for as long as possible .The clutch project was an after thought ,I needed an excuse to push my posts to 300 so I could get to third gear

Looks good right! ....Not so fast bucko your water pump $hit the bed. Drain all the new antifreeze,be sure to spill half on the ground during the process.Take it all apart ,repaint a new one,then put back together.



So much for my flawless rattlecan paint job.

Rubba Dubb,back goes on the tube!







So on the two lower rear corners of the galvy trim there are what look like remenants of some sort of reflextors.They are on my other trucks as well ,are they factory,can you still get them,and does anybody have a pic of what they look like .
