    She is home

    build date 1/74, as already stated has an aftermarket 6 cyl in her

    Pics as promised




    The front looks sad, that is because there is no radiator there






    Now we have '?' home she is in fantastic condition the rear full length mud flap obviously has something to do with the Air Sea Rescue stickers and the 3 assorted radios in her and the duel fuel tanks.

    The Rover 6 cyl. is wrong. Are you going to leave it or make it proper with a 2.25 x 4 cyl?

    Yes as stated it is wrong, we have a running 2.25 here we will put in. Tidier her up and see how she goes. Though the 6cyl does turn over by crank and does seem to have good compression so may be good as well for another project

    Lets see, it was abandoned and you took it in as an orphan,
    Its an 88" , so with your naming policy needs a girls name

    so logically

    It has to be Annie ...

    (as in Little Orphan Annie! ** )

    Any other help just call,

    ** Don't think for a minute it is a "weak" name (see below for speel on original Orphan Annie details )

    Yes your theory is correct, has to be a girls name.

    She is green and ZD534 was here today and myrtle the turtle was bandied about so she is now 'myrtle'

    Get rid of that after-market six and get a good Rover donk back in!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
