About three hours ago, I agreed to purchase a 1970 Series 1 2000 TC, T&T'd, all running and tickety boo and stuff, but needing some lurve having sat around for a bit. I've not owned a Rover of any description before, and it'll be my only car, as Mrs. Perv won't allow me to have 2 outside the house.
It looks pretty good, apart from a pretty rot D post thingie on the offside (real technical, me! ), with daylight visible (just) when you open the rear door and 2 holes in the plate that the outer wing bolts to. I guess it's best to cut the lot out and weld in, but can anyone give me any hints, tips of wrinkles. Oh, and what's the least painful method of changing the window and door-to-door rubbers, as the car comes with hundreds of brand new spares, including those. It's recently had a new engine, brakes, servo, exhaust, ignition system, sills (inner? outer? there seem to be about 8 sills on these things!), but is fundamentally unmolested with 123000 on the clock and I'd like to keep it that way. The engine needs LRP or an additive, can anyone recommend a good one, as I know it's protested when subjected to at least one brand, but don't know which one ???
Oh, and did I do the right thing at £350, or did they see me coming?
