Managed to miss your progress over the last couple of months so it's great to see how your project is coming along.

Like your use of a 'small pair of hands' for confined spaces :laughing2

Fab that he's a convert already :clapping

Forgot to say yesterday I weighed the 214 on the ATL yesterday (same lane as ZR) with 1/4 tank, me, 17" wheels, 2x factory seats and OE battery and it was 1032 KG. The ZR as it stood with 1/4 tank, me and one race seat and motorsport battery was 1070 KG so good news is the Rover should be about 50 KG lighter which is great news!

Small up date everyone picked up some replace rear trailing arms and a ZS roll bar so can put on the rear discs off the ZR160, get them painted and poly bushed....

Also finally got the steering column panel from a scrap ZR so i can drill out the spot welds and fit the mounting bracket to the R8 so can use the ZR steering rack and front sub frames....

Have you gone for the ZR steering rack because of the restricted lock so the bigger tyres don't foul the bodywork?
