    What a great thread Peter, your doing an amazing job with him.
    Looking forward to seeing the finished product rolling, or should I say driving out the shed door.

    Further progress...

    Greetings Rover-tragics,

    It’s been a while between drinks, and I’ve made some progress to report and bring the thread up to date.
    On last report I had finished the swivels, had thrown on some wheels and without ceremony rolled Barney out of the shed.

    Since then I’ve painted the wheels –

    And fitted some tyres.

    I know they’re more on-road oriented than off-road, but that will be Barney’s environment, mostly road and occasional off-road, so I’m satisfied with that. The compound seems a little soft so we shall see how long they last.

    The parts pile has been building up, a few packages from overseas including a full new wiring harness from Auto Sparks, and electronic ignition system from Powerspark Ignition. Both are reputable dealers according to this forum.
    Also a new clutch, a gearbox and T/C service kit, so it was just a matter of getting some time together to get a few things done…

    Which I managed this past weekend.

    The flywheel being fitted up -

    Anti-spin device –

    Clutch plate alignment device – pilfered from a spare gearbox I had sitting around. Amazing how this stuff just seems to accumulate almost without any help from me… well, the wife’s pretty amazed anyway…

    So with that done, it was time to take a little journey –

    Now I’m REALLY excited!!!

    It's good to be at the stage where 5 minutes working on the Rover doesn't result in filthy grubby hands and stink!

    Next on the agenda?
    …this thing.

    Another job for a professional I think...

    Over and out for now

    However I located one from a member who gave me one for the right price
