1988
LT230 case
4.2
190K mi
Non ABS brakes
Rust free Clean Carfax report. Been in southern California most of its life.

Non running at the moment. Its almost there. Wiring, fluids, tuning, belts hoses etc. Take advantage of my busy schedule. I got a promotion at work so I've got no time to finish it. I bought a new truck so its just sitting taking up space. I was building this for a long range road trip/camping truck. Long story short the Rover charm is lost on the wife and she is much more likely to be happy in my new truck than this. Plus I have more time to actually go places and do things when I'm not constantly working on this. Win win.

All new gaskets. Top and bottom.
New Crower Cam
New CompCams lifters

Injectors professionally cleaned.
I spent a ridiculous amount of time cleaning degreasing sanding and painting all the engine brackets and components. The only one i didn't do was the ac compressor. I planned on replacing that.

Interior:
I installed Disco front carpet because it was available. Its a lighter shade of grey than RRC carpet but fits well. Plus in put in two layers of heat and sound insulation. It's got D2 weather stripping in the doors. Headliner is redone. New dome lenses too.

The manual front seats are out of a Disco. They have been rebuilt and recovered in thick black vinyl for durability. I only had to drill one extra hole in the stock floor brackets. They are bolted in w grade 8 bolts in the stock location. I left all the wiring and relays from the power seats.You can easily convert it back to power seats. The original power seats are included if you want them. Stock rear seats are also included. I never have them in for more room. The rear has the stock rubber mats. I like it this way for hauling dogs and camping gear.

The center console is worn. It will need work. All parts are there except the shifter ribbon. The window switch panel is loose. Some of the rubber coating is peeling. I'm including a black D2 console I intended to cut down to fit the same way as the original if you want it.

The dash is in good shape. No cracks or damage. No fake wood to flake or bubble. The gauge pod needs some help but that's it. I have a spare binnicle.

Exterior:

Paint is ok. There are plenty of blemishes. Small dings. No major damage. It's a 5-10 footer. This gets used off road almost exclusively. It does buff out and look decent.

Driver's side cowl is cut for a snorkle. Rear quarters are cut too. I have another uncut cowl panel in white that i will include. I have a spare rear rust free lift gate.

I also have a rare non sunroof white roof panel and headliner I will include with the sale. Or swap it out before it gets picked up.


Mechanical:

Rebuilt steering box

It has the original non ABS front axel. The rear has been converted to disco hubs and 24spline for the locker Newer wheels bearings in the rear.


I have a ton more spares for this truck. Including mechanical and cosmetic parts. Disco stainless HD steering arms w a Disco pitman arm. New tie rod ends. I have a spare 3.9 engine. Complete. I have a good 4.0 block. MAF's 2 distributors. 2 ecms. 3 tps sensors. 2 or 3 IAC valves. Ignition parts. Spare brake and hub parts. Taillight lenses. Clear signal lenses and I'm sure a lot more. Ill include all the spares you want to take but you had better bring a trailer.

$3900. Obo. Im not gonna take low ball offers. I have a lot lot more in this truck than this. If it doesnt sell it will sit until I get to it.

Will take a partial trade for a set of new 285/75/16 BFG KO2'S.

 

GLWS Shifty. I was mildly stunned it's up for sale, so close.

 

Well yeah. Been a long road. I'm probably out of Rovers for awhile. Having the new truck is a complete revelation. I really was burned out from working on this truck every weekend. I was spending so much time working and preparing for trips that I was never able to actually take because all my time and money was going into this truck. Now I just hop in and drive someplace. It's amazing. I've taken a bunch of trips with it so far.

Eventually I'll get back into a Rover. But when I do it again it won't be my only vehicle to go out with. I'll do it right and all at the same time. Maybe even frame off. I'm done missing weekends for doing maintenance for now.

 

If I was your next-door neighbor I'd cut your grass for the next 5 years to own it. I was gonna say rake your stones but that just doesn't sound right...... What's gonna happen is your gonna get bored one day and then take on a gimungous project that will take years to complete. It's a disease like Alzheimer's, you'll forget the pain and suffering and then you wake up and realize your a couple hundred miles from home.....?
