we've decided to throw in the towel in the rust battle with rover. it seems like as soon as we get one panel fixed, something else bubbles through - the windshield frame is gone, you can see through the rockers, there's holes on the inside next to the rear glass - you get the point.
We came across a 1980 245 in GREAT shape, just has some surface rust here and there & runs awesome. during the last snow the owner ran into a median and bent the k-member and rack, we picked it up for $250. Only 160,000 miles and mostly everything seems to work. its even the yak-yellow color that for some reason i love.

I'm pretty sad to be parting ways with good ol rover, but since we're putting a lot of the old parts on the 'new' car, it'll be like she's still around, right?

Who'll be at carlisle? look me up!
