Thread: Rover fever strikes again

Not a bad effort Ferno, when you say donor vehicle, is that a spare parts donor vehicle or do you have some sort of master plan in mind. Matt

tis a spare parts donor ,the engine was the main reason for purchase ,however on inspection there was a long range tank underneath,and the rear window frame was heaps better than mine,a set of two inch lifted springs in the rear,bullbar,so instead of trying to get the motor out 150 K's away,decided to get the whole vehicle and swap bits over as time permits


as for the left over bits ,,,,well it may make a great paddock basher or just sell off bits left over

You should do alright out of the donor, you'll get most of your money back, have a spare ECU and AFM as well as EFI setup so this should keep Thumper on the cheap side regards to matenence.

I just put a bid on e-bay on another dungar as a potential project, just can't help myself. Not selling the 87, too much work has gone into it at present to be sold, unless someone made me a great offer that I couldn't refuse!!!

I only PMed Grimace about that long range tank last week. He said it was all gone. I'm not sure if it would have fitted my 94 Disco anyway.
Would have made for a difficult drive back if I had got the fuel tank

Hope the project goes well for you.

ROFLMAO

well spotted Andy
would make for a very interesting combination ,not to mention the V8 sitting in the back seat

well thus far i have swapped over the rear window,today the bullbar was relocated to thumper and with some assistance from the knockometer, have managed to keep the steering protector setup on thumpy that has a front towbar setup on it was gunna try and use the nice soft steering wheel from the donor but alas it dont work,unless ,maybe some modification mite be necessary
if time permits i shall try to get started on the removal of the engine on the w/e
