    Rover Resto Shops Must Be Busy

    Speaking of new ?Defender?....recent spy shots...Definitely not Defender, but seems to be D3/4 ish in style. Better transition than the D4 to D5. Sure we lose all the quirks and solid axles of the Defender but we expected that with all the regulatory mandates of the Commonwealth countries. With...

    Rover Resto Shops Must Be Busy

    Nah, it?s darn hard to express opinions online, and I come across as having a very extreme left or right position when I do not intend to. Your point is very valid, I have family with rare Italian metal who drive them daily and are in every sense of the word ?enthusiasts.? I would say my...

    Rover Resto Shops Must Be Busy

    I?ve seen a few pristine builds that would rival the ECR trucks I?ve seen in person. Perhaps the difference is the level of ?stock/genuine/factory? parts. Fit and finish...debatable. You make my point, ECR?s customer base is not enthusiasts. And again, absolutely nothing wrong with that. Same...

    Rover Resto Shops Must Be Busy

    Obviously different interactions makes different opinions. As a business owner myself, I understand your value proposition may be ever changing depending on a multitude of factors. I?m sure the ECR crew are standup folks, and stand up business minds. And a lot of times that takes massive risk...

    Rover Resto Shops Must Be Busy

    I believe I was more than clear that 1. IMO they are the best Rover shop stateside and 2. their business model is to be respected. However, I find it amusing that a site that is so enthusiast based is so quick to defend ECR?s interactions and business model. How many DSource trucks have been...

    Rover Resto Shops Must Be Busy

    I?m thinking ECR has it made. I?m a huge fan of their work but not so much with their business model as some of you have pointed out. I can?t take the ?but we are reasonable when all Is said and done because we are so NAS experienced? when they want $80K for a rustbucket non-roadworthy NAS 110...

    Rover Resto Shops Must Be Busy

    Posted on the other site as well... It appears with the robust economy, the Rover restoration business must be booming. I base that on my inability to get any reputable shop from the Rockies west to express any interest in my resto on the NAS 90. Perhaps it?s my scope of work that?s off...

    Thanks. I?ve had big/heavy parts shipped from the motherland and I found it fairly reasonable in the past. I?ve been hit with duties a couple times though on the bigger, more expensive shipments. I think all of those were shipped with FedEx. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That?s quite the site, thanks Dro. I had read somewhere it was as costly to piece together a new door as to purchase NTO...don?t know if that still holds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Feeler/Presale: NAS Front Seats

    Not sure yet, wish we could get some butt time in a few different makes. It?ll prolly be a genuine set including the factory rear lock and folds to match and some MM seat covers. But I do love the looks of the Scheel Mann?s and Recaros. What are you rocking? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
