Thats nothing to do with the Build quality of a Rover.
Its just like paint. All i was saying is the Driveline will be Toyo, nothing wrong with that, But as the Rover bodys is poorly constructed and the fitment of the panels and trim is as bad is it gets, then why keep the body. Im sure a 80 series or similar would be better and a cheaper option.

I buy rovers for one reason. I love quirky and Non Std cars. Volvo, Austin 1800, Land Rover, Saab, Morris mini's.... list goes on....
Only had 2 falcons that i payed for and one was a classic, ok i have had 2 toyota's, but i got out of them as they were leaf spring trucks.....

Just my 30c (less than a phone call)

Surely a manual conversion or running multiple Oil coolers and a bigger sump on the gearbox would be a lot cheaper option than a Toyota/Land Rover hybrid vehicle.
