  2. Excellent stickerage there mate the brown envelopes hold good things and the taster pic bet your well chuffed with it
  3. Excellent he would fit in lovely down this way Respect Krzys
  4. Was not my cup of tea when this shape first came out. Like most things it grew on me to the point where i now know (for the first time ever NOT) i was wrong and its a great looking car. Really nice example you have there looks in the red just think you need to Jazz Up the interior a bit all a bit John Major in there
  5. Yes i chucked some primer on first flatted it then top coat mate Thought you might appreciate that. Oh and i will be bringing a selection of hats to the meet you need a different one for different situations you know And thanks others who commented i did not reply to all as can not embed that many quotes
  6. Cheers. Too true mate im glad im at the stage where i can start doing the little bits as that means all the big stuff is either done or arranged to be done Whilst at my mechanics i asked about the weather strips if he had any tips on removing them As he said rover ones are rubber and available new still so order some and just rip the old ones off and who cares about breaking the clips just glue the new ones on and they wont move
  7. more prep for the japfest wash wipers look really tired Rear wiper Before Bit of paint later As New so will do the front ones tomorrow
  8. Got the window done today as planned (at last its been carboard since november ) Did not get the iterior bits as i i took one door card off to offer it up and it looked more grey (mine is black) so i left it as i would not be happy unless it matched so no new door cards or armrest yet But i did pop to halfords to get some interior shampoo and bought a new ripspeed ariel which looks much better Also got a price for spraying my replacement bumper (at last) so that will be done in next couple of weeks so the front lip can finally go on
  9. Yes as above prob just a honda old key thing mine is well worn she has done that once in the year i have owned her i also turned the key over but who knows why it happened (or if that helped )
  10. I'd leave you to it then Yes but your a lazy git And? LOL No and just fact we both know Good on you mate wish i was lazy im well hyperactive my mum used to say he will grow out of it SHE WAS WRONG
  11. They Don't. I DO thats my garden and thats my rover coupe awaiting its debut return to the roads of erith Nice! really looking forward to having her back she handles like a go-kart and thats on standard suspention and the standard recaro style seats are sooooooooo comfortable and hold you nicely (even the larger frame like me but prob not Krzys ) She got a recon engine about six months before i took her off the road mot was due and the tin worm had attacked so a little welding was needed but other than that a few bushes and a cv and she would have past. Will start a build thread on her in the summer when work starts as going to nede to do brakes and other bits now as she has sat around for quite a while BUT and its a big but i took her off the road august 2011 and she has sat idle since except one drive i left her at a family members house for six months had to get her went there put a jump pack on and she fired first click, drove home put her in my garden since then (that was feb 2012) and in october 2012 some eight months later put the jump on turned key and she fired first click, took about five seconds for revs to settle and just ticked over smooth as hell got up to temperature fan came on no probs or leaks or smells
  12. Yes can not wait gonna pick the bits up wednesday when he does window (infact i shall be removing them from rover whilst he starts work on my window) so one door card will be on wednesday for def as he has to remove it to do window
  13. It better be fitted by then mate or we will be fitting it the morning of the leicester meet i refuse to attend the meet unless that rocker is fitted I'd leave you to it then Yes but your a lazy git
  14. Yes mate that was my plan going to see if i can get the heater control trim off him as well then rap the lot Thinking something like graphite for the colour nothing brash
  15. Oh sorry mate i was not really trying bit of a sunday drive beside NIKH25 made a much better offer saying he will polish it i had not budgeted for time to look after it for you so i will have to withdraw my offer
  16. It better be fitted by then mate or we will be fitting it the morning of the leicester meet i refuse to attend the meet unless that rocker is fitted
  17. See thats what happens when you go down the wrong path mate You left the honda camp and its all been downhill since and could get a lot worse
  18. Small update but great news for my wallet Went to see my mechanic today to arrange him to replace my broken quarter window (He is a rover breakers yard and top mechanic) getting done wednesday. While i was there i spotted a rover 45 and climbed up to have a nose saw a few bits im getting so this is the deal Supply and fit replacement quarter window one rover rear center column with arm rest 4 rover very good condition door cards (they have the longbridge wood trim on them but i wanted that as im going to vinyl all wood soon) £70.00 the lot, £40.00 to do window and £30.00 for the interior pieces Think i have had a pretty good deal from him again (as usual) Good mechanics are worth holding on to
