    Join me as I investigate this Rover 100 I purchased as a "non runner" at auction for £600!! It's only got 13,600 miles on the clock and looks to be original! Is it going to be a good project and I think it deserves some restoration!
    Making content like this on RUclips is a new adventure for me so please LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE it will really help me out! Many more ideas and projects coming up in the future! Thank you!

    My guy painted my bumpers with black Raptor paint and they look incredible, and it's basically indestructible!

      What an idea! I have another classic project coming soon! Late 80's this time and that might be the way to go!

    You can use a heat gun or a blowlamp on the bumpers. It will restore the original finish. If the wipe doesn't work❤😁

      That was going to be option number 2 😅 but the wipe worked very well. How long it will last we shall see!

    Loving these videos, it’s cleaning up really nicely & giving me some great memories. I noticed the headlight top rubber’s hanging off it, I had to replace mine pretty much on an annual basis🤣
    Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻

      Great stuff! Thank you!! Yeah I actually removed the tape and replaced it with some licence plate tape for now... We will see if it stays in place!

    Loving this series! I bought my daughter a red 1.1 Rover Metro as her first car. It was great to drive and a lovely little car until she stuffed up the back of a Golf after a couple of months 😖

    • @themotorshed

      Thank you very much! I must admit my first car, a Rover 214, ended in a very similar fashion 😅

    Love it. Looks well, have one myself. I've heard that taking a heat gun to the bumpers restores them to black like new. Not sure that solution made much difference for you, did it hold up?

    • @themotorshed
      @themotorshed  Год назад

      Amazing! Thank you. Yeah I've heard of the heat gun trick before, the product I applied has held up well however there are some stress marks on the bumper which might be worth trying heat on 🤔 I'll give it a go and see!!
