Now that the Rover is home again I will mount a couple of antique Rally badges. Royal Marines and City of Cape Town.

New canvas at last. So now maybe I will be warm and dry!

Finally got the last coolant hose done. Water temp is now happy and steady, Yay! Also bought an accessory for it, ex U.S. Mil. trailer. Been sitting a while, no generator, I have to get a correct plug and 24v bulbs in order to make the lights work. I hope to add some sides and use it as a...

Nearly done with water hoses. Only one left, water pump to block. Looks like I will have to remove the 24v Alternator to reach it. Next I intend to fix the failed fuel gauge and adjust the carbs. With the carbs adjusted I hope for a bit more power and improved mileage. I know that at 4400' I...

Finally getting around to replacing the coolant hoses. Have had to cut several of the hose clamps off with a Dremel cut-off mounted on a flexible shaft. They were rusted solid and some DPO* used no "Common sense" at all regards orientation. I still don't know how someone managed to tighten the...

Made it to a much larger local car show for Fathers Day. Nope, I did not wash it, it's DRIVEN, not trailered! This little guy was also there. Now off the road until I get all the coolant hoses replaced, I hate leaks. Pulled the canvas so I will have more room and light for the work. Rover...

Did not find a Tire thread. Anyone tried these superlug-900-16-10in-rgb.jpg Seems they would have to be better than Bar-Grips. Not any less expensive though. The only other 35/10-16 I can find are these, https://www.intercotire.com/tire/148 Probably even more expensive. Manual steering so...

There are several Mil. vehicles in my small town, population around 3500. I know we have three Unimogs, two Pinzgaur, at least one M38, two Five-ton, and an assortment of modified ex-Mil. Jeeps. My Rover 101 is unique and the most driven of all. Most just sit, although one of the Pinz sees...

Here is a pic some may find amusing. Local Cars and Coffee last fall. Another as a British Roadster. "Fume Hood" in place.

I have a spare set of new Greek Bar-Grips but do not like them for off-road use. The common tires are a bit short, I need 35" - 36" for reasonable on-road use. So I am looking to upgrade to a better tread.

The radio set takes a lot of space. I do have the very rare operators seat, ground-plane, antenna, etc. Unfortunately I had to put in a conventional 12v distributor and spark plugs as the 24v to 10v ignition box failed. To fix it I have to find the correct gauge nichrome wire and rewind the...

Thought I had joined this group a couple of years ago but could not log in, so here I am, again? Land Rover is a 1977 RHD, GS, FUT, ex-RAF Rapier missile carrier, also FFW (So 24v) and fitted with Nokken winch. Only been driving it a short time. Previously sat in Kalifornia for several years...
