Grover Moves House

Shortly after the rebuild, we moved into a
house that we had bought just before christmas.


Yes, that was the incentive to finnish the
Grover during Christmas.


And folks, it was absolute bliss, driving grover
to the new house, rather than towing the
rolling chassis on a trailer!!


Grover's Garage is Multipurpose...


Theres plenty of room to work on whatever it is that
needs atention. (Because it's British, thats quite alot)!


And theres plenty of room for boulderation.
Cant do both at the same time, although, boulderation in
the garage, does encourage bloky talk of greasy, grimy
storys of battered knuckles. broken machinery, and
dream modifications.


As luck would have it, I sold the donar chassis
AFTER we moved house.


The buyer is using parts of the chassis to repair another
series one, so he asked me to slice and dice.


I did all the chopping with one wheel! Only Just!


This is what a rover would look like if ordered from Ikea!


Once settled into the new house, the restoration continues...


First to be adding shock absorbers!


Then to be replacing tie rod ends!


Cant believe those old ones even worked at all!!


Then to replace the stocking over the carby with a rover
oil cleaner. This was the only place it would fit, and after
a day screwing arround, I gave up, in favor of...



RAMFLOW!


When fitting Ramflow, make sure the gasket hole lines up!


Here my lovely asistant points at said hole!

Its some sort of presure thing.

Car wont start if this hole is blocked!


Finnished Product! Super easy to fit!
Apart from the 30 minutes it took to work out
that we put the gasket on back to front.. =(


Grover has a roof! It had been in storage for a while.


I am super happy that the new house has a rock
wall I can drive up. Picture doesnt realy do this justice.


Man and Machine, enjoying their new home!
