Thought I might talk about some modifications and stuff.
I've just bought a new V8 lump for the Rover - nothing special it's just a
3.5 my mate had in his TR7 V8. But importantly it comes with twin SUs (and K&Ns), so my plan in the short term is to whack the SUs on the SD1 and ditch the awful Strombergs to hopefully get it running right, then possibly use the new lump as a basis for an engine build. My mates recently done the timing chain and gears, so I might just whip the heads off, have a nose about and put it all back together with a 4 barrel carb bolted on top. He's also giving me some tubular exhaust manifolds - no idea if they'll fit mine but it'd be nice if they did.Along with a few services bits I've bought recently (dizzy cap, rotor arm, brake shoes etc etc) I'm hoping to have the car back on the road sometime in April. Will be nice to be able to drive it again, as I've missed that V8 loveliness.
I'm also very proud of my new Mota Lita steering wheel. Got it like this:
That is all
