G'Day all
It's been a while but I am back from O/S and still in one piece. To celebrate my triumphant return I have purchased....another Rover. This one is a V8 S and I have (perhaps foolishly) purchased it over the miracle of the internet. It is in Perth (Western Australia) and I am in Darwin (Hot, Wet, Bug infested, raining Northern Australia). It is costing me 1400 of my hard earned dollars to get it here. That is nearly as much as I paid for it in the first place :roll:
Anyway, it runs and has registration for 6 months, so I will be doing a "Rolling Restoration" as I use the car. I am fortunate that I have so many spares sitting around the shed (spare room, laundry, top self of the main bedroom....) so I can at least crack on with rebuilding bits then installing them at a later date.
As for the Blue Car (II) it is sort of back on its wheels, but otherwise on hold until my new workshop is built. My wife (bless her understanding nature) took my announcement that I had purchased (another) old wreck in her stride, but I am now honour bound to build her Triumph ASAP :wink:
Lots to do when it arrives on the 24th of Feb but until then these are some of the photos that convinced me that it was worth saving.
I hope that the photos work, i will keep you all updated on the progress (when there is some)
Cheers
