You wouldn't believe it was the same mouldy scrapper from the first page

Not booked yet..maybe a day next week.

Going to check it over again..and find some tyres if course.

Spent many hours trying to get some shine back into the paint...it hasnt come up too bad but my repaired rear arches are a cream rather than a white :/ oh well.



Basically need wiper blades and insurance. Slacking abit because of work. And a momentary issue involving the immobiliser and central locking. All sorted now.

Im away for a while soon but want it roadworthy before i go on 8th June.

Ive got all the trim pieces to go on too. Im quite happy but its just taken aaages. Plan is to start the mini tidy next

MOT tomorrow for this.

Insured and ready to go. Apart from a leaking sump plug. Will have to wait until after my trip.

Good luck

Cheers mate..all sorted and road legal now

Failed on indicator bulbs being too white.
One rear bush
And crap rear brakes

Let my MOT guy sort that out for me as i couldnt be bothered.



Parked up hill because the sump plug leaks. On the list to do upon my return.

I want stiffer suspension and maybe an engine swap to come in the future? Who knows. Just going to be used for now

It looks great!

 

Very well done with all the effort on something others might have scrapped

Thanks..i was really using it as small practice for my mini. So when im home i plan to start the Ritz (not resto but extreme tidy up)

Glad someone enjoyed this old rover tidy up. Sure there will be more to come..i have a slight rover obsession

Nice one, i love seeing this sort of thing come together.

 

Like Rags to Riches

Looks great, well done. Had a look at these a few weeks ago, was really tempted.

Havent had the roof up yet..mind you only done 30miles lol

Scuttle Shake is a strange experience...biggest car ive owned and first cabriolet. Its abit different to my metro thats for sure

Nice..new daily? Or just adding to the fleet? 

Mine keeps stalling when its cold atm. If i dip the clutch the revs drop well below idle and it sometimes stalls or sometimes recovers. 
Also the gearbox is noisy in 1,2,3.

I spent lots of time trying to improve the metro handling and this cabriolet feels the same from standard. The only thing i dont like is the power steering.
