Getting it back on the road.

[olgo57]

Hi! Thought that I should share some pictures of my project Rover P6. This is my hobby as a pensioner tinkering with this old Rover. It was sold new here in Sweden and is a 1972 P6 TC in monza red. As we have road salt here in Sweden and the car has been standing outside with leaking back window it has "some" rust. I have been welding the trunk together so now you cant throw your hat out to the bottom any more of it.
But there is much more fore the keen welder to fix. Doors are not the best and the rear of the sills need some extensive welding and new steel. But that is not a problem, I have lot of time to fix this. The electric system was a mess because the fuse holder was totally ruined. Now nearly everything works again except the high beam flash and the fan.
I share this passion with my brother who has a 1966 P6 RHD SC. So we have many long talks over skype to solve our problems with our old Rovers.
Best regard Olof.

Hi again! Yes I have been working with electronics all my life so fixing the electrics is not hard. Metal work has become something that I learned over the years with tinkering on cars. Started with cars as a hobby when I was 17 years old now 66 years. As a pensioner it is nice hobby and time do not matter any more, if it takes one day or a week it is still fun for me.
I have done worse cars then this but this has some rust to challenge my skill to the limit. I will learn as I go forward with my welding. Bought my self a TIG welder so there is new skill to learn ( MAG weld today).
Best regards Olof.
