Get it solid and drive it I think. Unsure or anything else and don't plan for it to be too much of a comprehensive rebuild but we'll see what rust there is. I think Mk2 Cooper replica is what Im attracted towards with the colour.

Progress wont start until January though I guess

Oh that reminds me! there is a slight update to this thread. After years of not having a splitter because I couldn't justify the prices they were going for, I watched one on Ebay which was going for a tenner, it was in Pinner, 5 miles up the road from Simons uni in West London so I had a bid at ten, set my highest at £40 and won it for £10!

Tomorrow I'm changing my manifold and fitting the splitter so Rita will look like old times again! It's something I have missed and will round up the build nicely :-)

Just browsing through mg-rover.org and came across this on there. 

 

There are quite a few nice looking Rovers on there. I'm really liking the 800s at the moment, and the old 200 wedge shapes.
