XX2board's 1959 Rover 8500

Well   so far, i've gotten a Chevy 350 engine with a TH350 Transmission & I am taking it apart  for a rebuild, or refresher, whichever is necessary, based on the condition.

The body has a lot more rust than can be seen from the pictures, so i'm looking around for a body shop to handle this aspect of the job.

Engines, brakes, suspension, steering , I can handle... , body work on the other hand, ...   i guess i'lll leave that up to the experts..

I'll post some engine pics soon , & some shots of the empty engine bay.
