hi mate, i think its pretty nice 
, i like the rover turbos, and seeing as @ TOTB2 they dominated the RST's i dont see why people cant not like them 
my mate mark is having a conversion done with an engine from the same as yours into one of these, he went out in this car a few days back and WANTED the conversion done ASAP, this is the car and engine, he has the same car but in Red should have the turbo engine in today, (tuesday 30th Nov)
Keep up the good work, NICE CAR

Nice motor mate.
Tell me though, are you suffering head gasket problems cos I worked on loads of these (turbo and non turbo) while I was doing my apprenticeship and they seem to blow the head gasket for a passtime, was constantly putting gearboxes in em too.

As for the gearbox. hmm lets see, ive broken two diffs, one driveshaft, one main shaft cog!
and had it redone twice for peace of mind. Yep the gearboxes are SHITE!
