Just tell her that she and the Rover have a lot in common, like being high maintenance. That must be why you're attracted to both.

Had some time this morning and finished the rear and started the front.It was a bear to
remove the front cover everything else went smooth.Has really improved the overall drive.

Today I replaced a dead condenser fan with a Hayden 3670 fan. Out the door for $50 bux.
I had to move original bracket carefully out of the way but did not mind sense every screw broke when trying to remove.So far it seems to be cooling pretty well at idle.I was able to
take through a drive through for a rewarding milkshake and maxed at 188 degrees!

Perfect Sunday weather so what do I do? I crawled under the Disco and changed out the front O2 sensors.They were a bear to break free and worse to plug up but were original so
maybe I will save a drop or two of gas.Next is the exhaust.After a hot summer and the a.c. Dumping loads of water on the cats the right one broke something free and sounds
like hell.I may delete them altogether and buy a magnaflow cat back.

Perfect Sunday weather again!Today I changed out all the tie rod ends.It was a good thing I had a vice.They had to be original and were a pain to break free.After reinstalling everything it is not perfect but I will get me to the shop to align.I have all the parts to rebuilding the front sway bar but I will save the fun for next weekend.

So I got her aligned today and the steering feels pretty darn good. I also replaced a side window molding. It was pretty straight forward with the rope trick but not a lot of fun. Here is the finished project.........
