Just think over engineered with sub standard parts and you will have a good idea.

Just get it off the ground and then jam some sticks in there. Fixed, good to go.

That was my solution... Get rid of the airchocks and go to a normal suspension.

Well if you go Dave's route make sure to use treated wood.

The inside door handle broke off in in hand on my El Camino. R&R the door panel and drill out the old rivets, bolt on new handle. Replace the panels.

It is neat to be able to go to the local parts store and pick up a part for a 25 year old car.

Yeah, it was pretty lame

Most people just scrap the air suspension on those era rovers for a standard coil/shock rig. Check Roversnorth for a kit. The air crap is just that...

My Rover don't gots no air bags in-dash or otherwise. It's the year before they did the air suspension. Kinda glad after seeing a couple of 'tubes of a Rover 4 wheelin then "Pow" and it limped away ridin all funny an lop sided.

Still think my Rover is pretty good for an $800 4x4. Even has working seat heaters. Curious to see how the heated windshield works this winter.
