And I decided to have what was up with the window and it potentially needs all-new window motors

Is this the only Rover you have now?

Did you manage to finish the others?

But the 75 S Reg is my dream 75 and to preserve it been working on it this year is the final year it's on the road before I throw thousands at restoring it so it'll be off the road for a few years ripping all the interior out and sorting that but first rebuilding engine and suspension and brakes and wiring but with starting a business it'll be in the back of the garage and work on it when the fleet isn't getting work on them as most will be hired out like the 63 Bug and stuff and when they're not hired out they'll be parked outside and will be specializing in British cars as well as german and stuff

Would love to learn what sort of work it did for rover though guessing being the only diesel manual I know that has ever existed I’m guessing it did a lot of work for rover before being sold in 2001 to its first owner

So throwing a lot of money into the S Reg lately trying to get it back on the road after neglecting it. How much has it cost people to get their Rover 75s resprayed as may save up and get it resprayed
