Woo hoo, It’s finally time to fill the big gaps in the front of the Rover.
Its been a long week of no work on the cars, thanks to being struck down with a brutal man-flu, but today I was back at work, so used that as an excuse to say I was well enough to also work on the car again.
The more I dig into the work done on this car, the more I question the sanity and abilities of anyone that has touched it in the past.
I know the whole game with a soft top car is to have the top down all the time, but having the roof come unlatched when going over bumps is just one step too far.

Since obtaining the car its been running very rich, pouring carbon out of the exhaust and blowing plumes of black smoke. Today I had a look to see if I could fix it.
Well I guess this will set the tone for the rest of what I will find in the car.
