Re: Rover Revivals Revival
I’ll have you know a good proposition of the work is already done.

Murf’s shopping list completed on time and delivered back to gaydon, then on to Warwick.

Re: Rover Revivals Revival
You won't be disappointed
All the work that was needed to be done was done but not the stuff that wasn't necessary.
All this and a local welder and MOT station!
My car does feel a whole lot better with a new set of engine mounts and a significant number of suspension bushes changed. I've stayed OE expect for the front suspension tie-rod bushes, where I've gone for powerflex 'purple' bushes and the ARB bushes as I'd got the wrong sizes
Changing the gearlinkage bushes has tightened-up the shift nicely too. Just felt the old knuckle joint and it's remarkably tight - I was expecting it to have a lot of play...
With a cambelt change we should be good for another 5 years, if not 25
I like Twin Cams.... and Single Cams...and now Turbos

Re: Rover Revivals Revival
Sounds about right for the Chapel-O-Dist, seen many a car worked on over the years.
Glad the car feels better buddy, new lease of life and all that jazz.

Getting busy in here, anyone remembers my old unit will know this is familiar territory.

Re: Rover Revivals Revival
Never one to shy away from a big build, we were recently contacted via our google maps advert by a guy in Tameside who had a megaproject he has been trying to sort for 2 decades.
A 1963 Rover p4 110 is coming in for a full body and engine restoration
Hoping to get it back to usable classic status and looking like it used to (pic not his car)

We have allocated just shy of a year to complete this build so slots for r8 work may have to take a back seat for a short term unless its nothing major.

Re: Rover Revivals Revival
Not the first 63 I’ve worked on, and tbh there are more parts suppliers than there are for r8’s!!

Re: Rover Revivals Revival
We don't need parts, that's what Sir Kev of Willis is for.
