All three belts fitted.
Tensioner.
Water pump.
Lost bolt which fixes lower cambelt cover to water pump, dropped out when trying to fit and cannot find it.
ALL engine mount bolts fitted.
New coil spring fitted to OSF leg.
OSF Caliper de-rusted and ready for painting, had to cut off the flexible pipe at both ends due to corrosion, new items have arrived ready to fit, connector at end of steel pipe will not move so plan to cutt off and fit new.
Some surface rust on front crossmember which I will clean and paint.
Have new bolts for hub and caliper.
Waiting for T50 torque key so I can replace disk.
Waiting for Tie rods.
Waiting for flaring kit.
Engine undertray missing, will try and source when next in the UK.
I still have to tighten the crankshaft bolt (note to me, do not forget), still need to find a length of pipe.
About 9 days work so far, most time spent removing rusted bolts etc.
So glad I joined the Rover 75andZT forum, the information available is priceless. and a big thank you to all members.
Last time I did anything like this was on a MK2 Cortina and I was A LOT younger

P sounds to me like its now a new car! I don't think you can beat stripping these things, you sort of get to know the vehicle a lot better at the same time. Have had a look around for a scaffold pole but have failed. I thought we had an old rusty one somewhere but I can't see it for looking. Well done so far for all of the work that you have put in. A great read too.

OSF leg fitted, it's easy when you know how, but believe me it's a pig when you don't.
