LRO: Good deed of the year.

Saved a Rover from the scrap heap.... at least the engine that is.

picked up the rest of the whatsup129 amazing deal Saturday, a rolling
chassis that'd been sitting for about 6 years. Frame is toast, but engine
may survive, and the tranny and transfer case seem good. other than that
there are a few odd parts like brake line junctions that I am told are
unavailable. and a good set of Dunlop Radial Rovers. we had an interesting
time getting it in the garage, trying to wheel it over 8 feet into the
vacant parking space was achieved with a hi lift and a 2 ton rolling jack.

An interesting weekend, and my wife isn't even angry at me!
