New 12 restoration
Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2023 7:29 pm
Hi all,
I have recently bought a Rover 12 to restore together with my daughter.
I'll no doubt have a load of questions along the way.
But here are some straight off the bat.
What tyres do you need?
where do you get them?
And roughly how much should I be paying?
Are there good suppliers to get replacement panels and other parts?
What have people done for securing the seats. Our car currently has no floor. I believe it's just a sheet of 3/4 inch marine ply. And the seats just bolt straight into the ply.
But have any of you put any extra reinforcements?
Then something I'm sure has come up before.
How have people gone about fitting seatbelts?
Have you welded anchor points into the body? And for the anchors on the other side of the seats (towards the centre). There is no real metal to weld them to. So what have you done there?
