Thanks guys. There are a lot of rovers in the picture because it's at work! Although, Lucas *is* parked right behind the LWB.
Jaime, it's been in PA all it's life. It's got a rear floor with some pretty cancerous rust, and some rust in other places, but it's not too bad for a northeastern truck. The hood is all pitted from tree sap, but the rest of the paint looks pretty nice. There are a few dents in the body, but nothing major. I like that the interior is pretty clean and the leather is in nice shape... The finish on the leather on Lucas is almost completely rubbed off the squab. Of course, the wood is all cracked on the center console, but I didn't have ANY wood in Lucas, so it's a welcome change!
Yep, this is the one with the borla, the sticky e-brake, and the broken heated seat. It's a little slow to start, but we're putting in an Optima. Ron said it's the classic distributored rover delay start. It does already have coils, though, which is really nice. It's funny switching to this from Lucas... it's SO much lower to the ground! I do miss being up so high, but like that I don't have to climb into it. It was time for a little less rugged, little more luxurious change. I like having a sunroof, too!

Hey Alyssa, nice truck. :-) I wonder if our 95's have worse floor problems than other years. Perhaps it's just all that PA road salt. I posted a thread about replacing my floor not too long ago in the RR tech section. I had a bad spot right next to the subwoofer. Is that the same place your floor is rusted?

Its pretty nice, we like it. Has a few issues and some miles 122k but it runs well and it looks clean. All it has to do is run for a couple of years (at alyssa's wopping 3000 mile a year annual pace) until I get out of school then it owes us nothing and alyssa can have her 03/04 style Rangie with comfort seats if we have any money.

The rust is not terminal, I will be dealing with it shortly. It is at the very back of the floor. Looks like water got in there and trapped, otherwise the floor is perfect.

On the delay start I think a new set of plugs, rotor, and cap should help it (has magnecores allready). Its not even a full crank, it just does not have that GEMS instainiousness to it.
