Re: Rover Revivals Revival
In its hay day it was a not for profit Rover only garage covering everything from oil changes to full structural repairs.
Case n point mr x's former 400 with minor rust


Basically a chance for lads to be lads and an excuse for a bbq while working on cars

I will admit i won't be doing it on the scale i used too, 13 cars at once was a little much but if you need a roof over your head and access to tool that you wouldn't normally have access to whilst a helpful hand is looking over your shoulder to make sure you don't kill yourself. Alternatively, book it in with a shopping list of what needs doing and leave it with us.
Bodywork inc paint and metal work
engine from service to full rebuild
wheels full refurb
exhaust I hate doing exhausts
suspension
Interior

Re: Rover Revivals Revival
So where exactly is this facility and, for those of us who are not "technical", how do we book in our precious vehicles if we need to?
I am not anticipating an urgent need as my small local garage loves my 216 Cabriolet as much as I do and tells me when anything needs doing.
However, it is just good to know that the Forum has such a facility.
