Well it looks good in this photo.....
But it's even better in the flesh!
I saw it registered, and running today.
I can hear the horn (and I'm deaf ) I can't hear the engine but saw it start with a little puff of smoke and could feel the body vibrate.
Great job Keith.
Onto the tractor now?

Hi Keith

The Rova looks great.

To fend off raindrops, along with the policy of that you must encourage rain drops to reach the ground, what type of top have you in mind?

Funny you should ask. My wife does not like her hair being blown around and on this drive had her eyes shut so I am working on a top. Either that or fit her with motorcyclists visor.

Digger thats a difficult question.
I have spent around $3000 on donor vehicles since the late 80,s when I started rebuilding Tristan. Leftovers have been used on the later rebuilds.
The biggest expense was the engine $1300. The gearbox 2a suffix d I had.
Axles the same. Chassis I was given. Galv bulkhead was attarched to the SW chassis I put under Tristan. Paid for new brake lines, & wiring. $150 odd for the vinyl and foam for the seats. Sewed them myself. No paint.
Tyres I borrowed from the 109 untill I know what size will work. Dash lights , wiring and fuses from autobarn another $80 but still some left for the next project.
Really your guess is as good as mine but its fun.

I have an 80" swb hardtop also, they look good and although pretty close to 86/88 top,

the 86/88 look really wrong when their on top of an 80!
