Not sure if it needs a new thread but are there any detailers on the board? Care to share any tips? Just got finished with my car last night. Started with a wash, clay bar, then a polish using a porter cable 7424 with Meguiar's white wax. Used a black Lake county pad to apply and microfiber for removal. Paint is smooth a glass. Hardest part is getting into all the cracks and around the emblems. With a white car dirt collects everywhere. Also looking for a way to really deep clean the carpet. Using a shop vac but there is still quite a bit of sand that just won't budge.
Walking the dog with my wife this morning and we pass one of these, parked and going to seed. No driver's side window. Random crap stored inside. If a windfall comes my way I will be tempted to rescue it.

I popped "diesel" into CL 'cause I really want a truck. This comes back:
1981 oldsmobile diesel
My dad had a diesel delta 88 (as well as a pinto, a corvair, and a VW 412 - but that's another topic on his string of bad cars). It would get 28mpg on the highway. It had a transmission made out of some sort of material that became viscous at operating temp.

Trucks with tons of miles and rust cost waaaay too much. So instead we persuaded a pal of ours with a truck of some provenance to sell it to us. 1972 Land Rover Defender. The places it traversed are painted on the side by the original owner. The picture with the damaged side is a putative rhinoceros attack. We think the odometer has made a round, or two.

Nice 88". The Series cars are nice - very very simple to work on.
They all look good in the pictures...
So it doesn't have any chassis rust, or has it already been taken care of?
I had a Series III like this and I miss it. Cool capstan!

Oh no...as the owner of several series ii's, iii's..they are in fact as obsolete and sad-sack as can be. Think; Lumberjacking with a stone axe. However, they are lovely, funky, and fun. Parts can get very pricey, although as a bike person you will perhaps not be so sticker-shocked. I put a new frame on the last series iii I had..the pic is somewhere here on the forum..had fabrication services done by Jeff White here in Mass. He, and Rovers North,(Vt.) are your potential friends Rover-wise. Have fun with that thing!

I put a new top on my firepit in anticipation of warmer weather.
