(my own project)

18/06/07: Ok, waiting for heads for the motor

The engine : New Alloy case, forged 78mm crank, w110 cam, stock rockers with bolt up shafts, 40mm weber IDFs, heads will be 044s with standard valve sizes and a 3 angle valve job. Built for reliability and as a good strong tow engine

12/06/07 : Currently building 2007cc motor for her, I,ll get some picks up soon

This bay arrived about five years ago, the welding was sound but it was a bit the worse for wear and the paint was rough.  There were parts of a Devon interior fitted, but these had to go.

I tidied it up and resprayed it in the same red as the pick-up (Rover Monza red).  I built and fitted a new interior but a lot is still original.

I use the bay as an everyday vehicle and a day van in the summer.  I also tow the pick-up to race meetings and camp in the van.  Right now I'm upgrading the stock 1600 to a 2007 to make for a better tow - and going up those steep Cornwall hills!
