Default Back in the rover game

Well it’s been about a year since I sold my d2. Found a d1 nearby that needs some love. I should have it by the weekend I hope. Originally from Cali, so I’m hoping not too rusty, price was too good to pass up. I May regret it later. Lol

95, not sure on the trim, I only looked at it briefly last summer when the guy was asking for advice on how to fix it. I’ll post pics and updates after I get it. Brakes are toast so I’m going to have to trailer it.

Ahh. Beluga not-so-Black.

My 94 brake pedal would hit the floor as I drove it home first time, but pumped up OK. Only needed pads and flushing as it turned out.

Yes already started fixing things. Lol.
She’s a little beat up but the bones look great, frame seems solid, motor and tranny seem good, interior needs lots of love, no tach at the moment, actually not even sure if the dash was working at all. Seems like older gasoline in the tank too. Drivers rocker looks a little cancerous, rest looks ok. Will find more I’m sure when I pull up the carpet but it’s solid enough.
