Poor Rover! She's my 1983 245DL who before now didn't have a single dent or ding on her. The body's nice and straight, all the doors line up, sure there's some rust but nothing a $20 can of implement paint wouldn't make pretty again. Friday I drove her from PA to FL, saturday I turned around and came home. Got a wave and a tumbs up from someone in Jacksonville (blue 245, hello if you're out there!). Here I am, 23 years old driving a refrigerator-white station wagon to the corporate office and I love it! I still park in small spaces beside 2-door coupes and drive over curbs for fun, but all in all, I"m proud of the old girl.

This morning I was stopped for a turning car in front of me, heard the squeal and BAM! There was a Jeep Wrangler bouncing off my back bumper. Luckily for me the folks want to go outside of insurance to pay for the repairs, so here I am heading off for an estimate. I know I’m going to need a new rear bumper, trim piece, tail gate latch and a tail light lens assembly. We’ll have to chain the back to a tree and drive away to straighten out the back. :( Other than the lights, which I can get through IPD, am I going to be searching bone yards, or is there a place online where I can get the latch and trim?
