Project | Details | Status | Links | Parts Needed |
Wheel Brakes | Replace failed parts of the hydraulic brake system. Bleed and adjust brakes so they work well. | Nearly finished | New wheel cylinders for all 4 wheels New Brake shoes for rear wheels New screws to hold on brake drums. | |
Weatherproofing | Install new windows, rear door & any seals needed so that rain can't get in. | Started, Waiting on parts | Rear Door Install | New window frame 1x piece of sliding glass 2 x new glass seals for window frames 2 x Vent Seals |
Lights | Add relay to headlights. Install indicator, park & running lights that were removed. | Started, Waiting on parts | Parts on their way | New lights all around Wire to install lights |
Oil Leaks | I know, I know. But it won't pass rego with obvious leaks so everything needs to be sealed up well | Waiting on investigation | ||
Seatbelts | Install seatbelts. They aren't original equipment for this rover, but I do want something to help keep me in. | Waiting on parts | Seatbelts Lower brackets for driver & passenger seats Brackets for middle seat | |
Middle Seat | Get a upholstered back and bottom pieces for middle seat | Waiting on parts | Back and base of middle seat. I guess I could probably make one | |
Footwells | Replace footwells that have a few rust holes in them that will not pass rego | Waiting on parts | Driver & Passenger side footwells | |
Wheels | Get new tyres on all 5 wheels. The old ones are probably past use by date and probably wont pass rego. Will wait until quite close to rego before getting new ones | Waiting on parts | Fresh tyres for all 5 wheels. Installed on existing rims. | |
Waterpump | Install new waterpump to replace failed one. | Completed | Repair | New waterpump & gasket |
Overflow bottle | Probably on the nice to do list. Add an overflow bottle to the radiator so that it will not eventually empty itself over time. | Not critical | Overflow bottle & hose Different style radiator cap brazed onto radiator | |
Fresh Engine oil | Put fresh engine oil in. Will probably use cheap stuff to start with in case there is a repair that requires the oil to be removed | Waiting on parts | 6-7L of Engine oil | |
Wheel Stud | Repair broken wheel stud on rear right wheel. Threads have failed on the hub so it will have to be reamed out and possibly a new stud made | Waiting on parts | New stud that will match reamed hole in hub. New wheel nut | |
Second Battery | Get the second battery charging and usable Add hatch so the second battery is usable. The battery may actually be dead, but that needs to be confirmed. | Requires Investigation | ?? | |
