| My goal is to do the same with my series, but since my rear part of the frame is rotten I'll probably start with another frame. Would love to get a galvanized, but since I will take it offroad again a used 88 frame in good condition would suffice |

| You're already ahead of me, and I started 4 months ago!
I don't know where you people get the time.
I can already feel that this is going to be a very cool restoration. |

| Ben, maybe Katie could come give you a hand? She seems to be handy with the hammer!
Interested in following this Jeremy, you're moving right along! It's great to see you getting to wrench on a Rover and get paid to do it! |

| What are you doing about electrical?
And I assume you have your own tools for blasting, welding, etc...? Also, are you going to get pics of the transformation to the RRC axles? I seriously doubt I can do it, but I've always wondered. |
