no power steering probably have to look at that as one of the first mods......lol (do need to fit in tho) and as for a boss kit as long as i have the centre of the original steering wheel and the other one is steel i can make a wheel that'll fit....just have to raid the redneck monster garage's tools.................. :lol: :lol: :lol:

it will be a good machine, take it easy on the throttle and she will stay together. good tires and front and rear locker then you wont need to be spinning it up too badly, which is main way the rovers break stuff.

but who cares if it sounds like this 253 powered vh>
