Well everyone I picked up my fat bird from the Isle Of White today .Structrually and body wise she is exactly what was promised.. rusted to hell in all the usual places and right now I refuse to acknowledge the sagging nearside rear drivers door becacause lets face it I knew what I was getting, what I'm getting into is a completely different matter and once those wings come off we can all stand around scratchin our chins, shaking our heads saying " Aint gonna be cheap mate! " On the good side though even though I only got to drive her on the island to the port, she purred and burbled beautifully, kickdown was responsive , no clunking shifting into gear and oil pressure was rigid the whole time, the water temp was close to normal .I also made lots of new friends at the port all interested in her future.So watch this space and as soon as I can get her in my garage we can all have a laugh at the silly ill-informed new boy with his pile of rover rust!!
