Default Hello, my new S3 Rover, & my spare parts!

Hi All!

About two weeks ago I got a (new to me) 1972 Series III rover! It's got a Chevy small block v8 in it and is the most fun thing in the world to drive (the number of people asking me if I've been on a safari: 3). I've already painted it and done some welding to get the frame back up to speed. I've attached the before and after photos if you're curious.
Before:

After:

I also got some extra parts from the guy I purchased it off of. I've put a few of them on flickr - feel free to ask or make me an offer for any of this: I want to get it out of my living room!

If you get tired of the stock plastic grill. I can set you up with a galvanized 2A girll.

What's a 2A GIRLL ?

Ordinarily, I don't like it when people mix and match parts of different models, but that truck already has a 2A bulkhead, so maybe it IS a 2A and not a 3.

Girll or grill either way plastic has no buisiness on a Rover.

I kinda like the plastic grill. I run with it on the road and switch to the galvanised grill for offroading.

Grill goes on the radiator panel. Girll goes in the passenger seat.
