That rear frame section looks new, compared to my gray 03. I'd take a picture...but there's really nothing to take a picture of...literally.
But, l knew this when l purchased it and the plan was/is to weld in a new section of frame next summer...after old gray has proved her worthiness. Which, as it stands right now...no order is in the works...lol. Although, truth be told (and l'm quite sure this will be a jinx of paramount proportions just saying/writing this)...l've put about 4K on the old girl...and l've not broken down in about four months. So...with that...I'll go ahead right now and get the flatbed lined up for tomorrow morning...lol.
But, seriously...l've got a lot of wiggle room on this rover. Paid 5 bills for it, took 7 hundred dollars worth of new tires/rims off it and put them on my wife's rover...and basically pushed the ignition relay in...to get it running. So, throwing 6/9 more bills at it and the time of doing the job...would still be an acceptable amount of investment.
