Lose the yellow CB antennae and Thomas the Tank Engine sticker and it will be perfect - well done.

Aerial to be painted black. And I cannot remove the bloody thing!
It's proper stuck on there and my heat gun is at my mates house. I'll use the wife's hair dryer and try again. Still got loads to do. But it's getting there slowly. The wiring still needs accessing as it's pretty damn atrocious in areas.

You wanna see wiring issues
BTDT my good man, and I bought mine knowing it was fire damaged
Much more fun when you can figure it all out and make it run again

Rather you than me.
Walk in the park
Had it up and running within a week, just got a bit too carried away and it has ended up in a full rebuild.
Might add the wiring was the hardest part as I am color blind
Everything works as it should and does what it is supposed to, apart from the tacho has a dodgy connection but will be remedied when the alt comes off for replacement with a 100A unit.

I know that feeling my 90 ended being a rebuild after needing a bit of welding.
Hmmm wiring and colour blind, Great combination

For some reason plugs have been cut of. It has so much corrosion on plugs it's unreal. Keeps popping fuses. No windows work except passenger one. RCL packed up. The lights work and then don't. The rear lights have had plugs cut of.
The wiring on inner wing is shockingly ****. It's mechanically mint as I fit a new engine but I just can't carry on. I'm disappointed with myself for buying it.

This was going to be a bit of wiring and a few patches to weld in and went south in a big way as the more I pulled it apart the worse it got
Went shopping in my spare room for a loom from a 300 and rebuilt it using sections of that.
AJC, I know exactly where you are coming from there, I did loads on my truck in terms of undoing bodges and cutting out poorly executed repairs, and yes there was some seriously poor efforts on the wiring, it just takes time and effort to source the correct components and rebuild it, although if it is a second Rover in your fleet then I see it perfectly for what it is, shame though, it would have been a very nice truck
You getting another Fender or another unmolested Disco?
