The diffs, if sticking with Rover, need everything replaced and to be pegged IMHO. Although I have not busted anything for a long time I feel I have been very lucky and each run lately I feel something is binding, or that something is about to fail.
The next mod was to cut, and cut.... Then cut some more. It still rubs hard with only a 1 inch body lift, but it's never bothered me.

well as luck would have it i got this one from my father for free

1991 Vouge SE.......now to fix lots of little things so i can change it to Tas rego

Looks nice. Where did it used to live? The rego number is familiar.

Stirling. the old man had an 88 model with the same rego number as well,the Rovers have been known to tow all sorts of weird and wonderful machines.

i think his old workshop was in Richmond..... he's "retired" now

I grew up at Mt Osmond and my folks are in Bridgewater these days, I am sure I would have seen it.

Gosh, what a co-incidence, same colour as the one registered in my name. - I'd go outside and check but it's living with my son... the one who previously had nothing good to say about RR or my sanity...

Looks particularly neat, especially the rear bumper.

close........except i always liked the Rovers

This is my 1975 2 Door.
I look pretty good in the back seat while the butler
tends to the steering wheel and mechanical duties.



Pushed the bloke to cover the steering wheel and he had it done in cow leather. For cryin' out loud, I chase these things.



Dunno why, but he made a fuss about having an unbroken instrument housing, what's a speedo anyway?



Sometimes he mutters about the character marks from years of being in paddocks and the like before he bought it for me.



For some reason beyond me, he relishes in the bumper bars, what's the fuss? I can get a cow or sheep to move better than any bar.



The butler is bloody crazy, he wants to put new carpet in it.
What a birk, he and I sit on the seats. Of course my seat is bigger.

Anyway, that's it from the paddock.

Best sticks and balls,
Cobber (the Heeler)

Oi butler, yer c'n stop typin'. Chuck a ball, eh.
