I devoted my Christmas break this year to my poor neglected rover, and got a lot done. Here's the pictures from the break:

That's how it sits right now. I can't wait until May when I'll be back in town and can finish this project and start playing with it.

The day I left for school these showed up too.

The rear shocks seem to be about an inch short though. I put 11-leaf heavy-duty rear springs on, will that have inadvertently given me too much lift for standard shocks? If so I guess I'll have to fabricate some new plates to go below the springs with a higher mount point.

Why dont you order the lwb rear shocks or the ex mill shocks?

Don't 109 rears have a different attachment method. It looks like they have threaded rod at the end instead of a ring to put around the pin. http://www.4x4store-exeter.co.uk/catalog/The 4x4 store series cat/images/ser_suspension_01.jpg
