How much has been spent (from what you can see)

[robjf]

As some of you know ive recently bought a rover 414i, now i am far from the boy racer type but found this car (picture below) and wondered how much has been spent on it, that you lot can see. Could you have a go at itemising how much it would cost to do this to a big standard rover

Thanks again

Rob

PS. The headgasket was done just before i bought it

Well i can safely say im never ever gonna spend much on my car (£5 tax disc holder so far as mine wasnt sticky anymore and selotape didnt work) but just bored of my cars plain looks, and yes i know its a rover, but that car does look quite tastey, its nowhere near as bad as some others ive seen.

I already need to sort out the fanbelt which squeeks a bit on start up, ill do that myself though.

EDIT - as a testement to rover reliability, heres the events of last night....

I was driving along and suddenly the lights flickered, everything in the car seemed to loose power momentarily, driving on a bit further and everything just died, engine cut out...the lot. So me being clever, whilst still rolling (in complete darkness might add) i put it into 1st and let the clutch go, bring everything back to life. I carried on, was parked up for a few minutes, then nothing, wouldnt start at all. Had a few goes at bump starting her but she was having none of it. Popped the bonnet and had a look, 'hmmm that wire shouldnt be like that', the wire coming from the neg of the battery to the body of the car (ground) had snapped by the battery!. A quick run to the nearest garage to get some sellotape and all was good once more, just got to find something a little more permanent!
