Rust never sleeps! Especially on Rover cars

Bought this Rover SD1 v8 many years ago for £100, it had a gold seal engine that had only done around 2k since it was fitted but the body as usual was scrap. I removed the engine and auto trans (no hoist needed, just determination and a strong trolley jack!)and sold them for £400-nice quick profit! Had the great idea of cutting the shell up as certain sections could be used for the up keep and repair of my other 5 Rover SD1s-could'nt do it again though,it took an afternoon with an industrial angle grinder/cutter, and got strange looks at the local tip dropping off the remains into the scrap metal bin. Great fun! 8-)
