My lovely Toledo (with a few tasteful upgrades).

Some photos of the Toledo below. She’s had quite the amount of work put into her since date of purchase in June ‘24 (a belated 29th birthday present to myself), she’s had; Electronic ignition (fitted before purchase), new clutch cylinders, new ignition coil and HT leads, fluids, coolant and filters changed, almost all hoses replaced, bulkhead addressed and fixed for the pedals, sorted and repainted any rusty parts, wooden dash part restored where it was needed, fuel breather hose repaired, fuel hose replaced between the pump and carb, new throttle return spring and carb bracket repaired, new chrome locking fuel cap (that I made up from two caps), new rear window demister, Goodmans speakers cased in Radiomobile rear shelf speakers, new old stock Harvard FM stereo cassette, Dolomite 1850 hubcaps (I fitted the BL roundels to cover the “Dolomite” across the centre) and wheel embellishers, new number plates and BL front wing roundel badges and the nicest thing, the Rover 400 front seats which transform the car.

Great looking car. Smart interior. I'm interested how much work was involved in making the rover seats fit?

Hi Richard,

Me and my friend had to cut thick metal, weld it into the Rover runners, then drill holes so they could be in line with the existing holes on the floor pan and weld a piece in so the rear hole next to the tunnel could be fitted.
