Re: Rover 220 Coupe Turbo Ex-Dunlop Racer

Re: Rover 220 Coupe Turbo Ex-Dunlop Racer

So a quick update on the racer, Not much has happened since the gearbox swap really, mainly due to other car related issues which have taken up my time.

Nice update Tom!

Do you have any experience with a welder? Will you tackle these jobs yourself?

Re: Rover 220 Coupe Turbo Ex-Dunlop Racer

Small update: I brought some MTF94 oil and filled up the gearbox which took approx 2.2L.
