Recent addition

Post by black_sunrise »

Picked this up a while ago. Felt like getting back into the Rover scene when i saw this after the nail that i tried to save last time. Was completely standard when i got it although the standard exhaust was blowing and rotten.

1 owner until last year, 84k with FSH.

Not sure if the owner was on here, i heard about it on RT.

Just got it back from the garage after a bit of work was done to get it through the MOT, i can honestly say this is the nicest 220 ive ever driven.

Its just had;

[*]New Timing Belt/Aux Belts
[*]New Water Pump
[*]Full Service (Plugs, All Fluids etc)
[*]New Rear Calipers

Few Modifications;

[*]Cat back stainless exhaust system, possibly a Scorpion or Mongoose (ebay bargain)
[*]Forge Dump Valve
[*]P.I Lowering Springs

To Come;

[*]Manual Boost Controller and Gauge
[*]282mm Front Disks and 620ti Calipers

Gave her a quick going over earlier, didnt see the point in going all out when it looked like it was going to rain at any minute.

And the rust hole that will get done over the winter...

All the work was carried out by Andy at ATA Services in Thackley, Bradford. Cannot speak highly enough of this place and would reccomend it to all. Fair prices and top quality work.

Comments/suggestions welcome.
