Re: My New Ride With V8
Thanks guys. Been traveling a lot this past week and haven't had time to look the car over too much. The PO didn't do a lot if any maintainance in a loooong time. Gonna need a source for things like filters, shocks, brake pieces including rotors, wheel cylinders and even a booster unit. May source an Edelbrock manifold and Holley carb to replace some sad SUs. Any advice or opinion is appreciated.

Re: My New Ride With V8
Jim, I plead dum-b. What brand or model is it? Had it been a Muscle Car, I probably would have known :-)

No probs Kelly. Its a 1970 Rover 3500S with 215 V8 the Brits bought from Buick. Click on the next post down where I asked for opinions and click on the wonderful link provided by our moderator!

Re: My New Ride With V8
Well crap. Now I want one! That looks pretty clean and straight sitting there on the trailer. I hope the brake and suspension parts don't put you in the poorhouse!
