Been a while!

Back on the Rova now! Got caught up in some other projects and really just didn't have the motivation to work on it. But I'm back now.

Moving the the front shocks back and up on the chassis. This allows me to move the axle forward another 1.5" allowing me to moving the ram back .750" and the still have .750"
of clearance on the harmonic balancer.



Removed the ribs on the hood so it would close too.


That's a pretty good approach angle!!


The down side is the front axle is so far forward that the iconic Rover fenders have to be cut up a lot!



Once everything is suspension wise is done I'll make new skins for the fenders. Waiting on new link brackets for the front axle, rear upper shock mounts too. Should be done at the laser cutters tomorrow.
