I couldn't imagine parting with the 75 after such good work. Beautiful.

@annettewilliams3980 11 месяцев назад

You are such a legend Matt bringing the older cars back to their former glory well done ,I’m enjoying your videos so much please carry on

@user-uj1tr3iz1v 11 месяцев назад

I hope you have decided to keep the 75 such a lovely car always liked them

@johnps65 11 месяцев назад

Keep the 75. I think you'll regret it if you let it go. Definitely a future classic.

@anthonystevens8683 11 месяцев назад

The 75 is a modern classic Matt, if you can justify it I'd be inclined to hang onto it. I hate it when well intentioned jobs end up with more work like the door card liner but we can't undo what is done, Ive done the same thing on more than one occasion and not just cars. Given the increasing value of the car it might be worth considering replacing the 'orrible' orange foam backing with some new stuff and maybe the card material as well. You have the original that could be used as a pattern to get someone who's really good with the old pinking sheers to make a new one or even a set for all the door cards but keep the original parts in a bundle for future patterns. The speed that the 75's disappeared from the roads is quite striking so saving one would be great. Many thanks for sharing.

@gwengo4167 11 месяцев назад

The darker wood steering wheel definitely looks better 👍🏻. I’ve just finished putting my whole dashboard back in the car after removing the entire thing from my 04 Rover 25. All to find a leak which was under the windscreen. All sealed up now though 👍🏻

This Rover 75 is becoming better every time it features on the channel I really like the new steering wheel, well done with the door locking mechanism Matt, that’s another repair successfully carried out❤.

@dmcars147 11 месяцев назад

Nice work! Right when I saw you starting to mess with that door panel, I knew it was going to be trouble. I've done exactly that more than once. See if you can source the fabric, an upholstery guy should be able to do that job inexpensively and I think this car is worth the effort.

@DavidJones-dq7iu 11 месяцев назад

Looking very good. Definitely a keeper. A beautiful car.

@peterbarella3655 11 месяцев назад

As an owner of two of these cars, when I glue the chrome ring back onto the door, I put a pencil down so that the inner handle pulls the chrome ring against the door and leave overnight to set.

@proluxelectronics7419 11 месяцев назад

I think you rotated the "clock spring" one full rotation to the right, this will eventually lead to a failure as the ribbon is now stretched on full right lock. The unit should have a window and a hole to show dead straight for installation.

@Simon-ui6db 11 месяцев назад

Yeah he has turned it one rotation. Please Matt, take the wheel off and rotate it one to the left and refit.

@LiquidChild99 11 месяцев назад

@ramdonice 11 месяцев назад

@kevincraven4038 11 месяцев назад

And it is a good idea to leave the loosened steering wheel nut on the column a few turns when you pull the wheel free - people who don't do this loose teeth and get a broken nose!🙂

@highbury1972 11 месяцев назад

Well done Matt for doing this in the heat. That’s hard going. Personally I’d keep The 25 and move the other two Rovers on. I love what you do and your fleet. Keep it going.

@slangster 11 месяцев назад

I always thought that this Rover were a very hansdsome car. My friends didn't, the motor journalist didn't, and I didn't care for once what others said. It's still a very handsome car, but it's a bit "fly in the soup" when it comes to durability! Anyways, If I were you; I'll keep it. Got to be a classic this in the future, if it's not already!

@thughes52 11 месяцев назад

@mikeclifton7778 11 месяцев назад

@peterriggall8409 11 месяцев назад

Well done Matt. The material on the door card doesn’t look too bad on camera. Will be sorry to see it go. Would almost rather the 740 go. 😬 But if this ‘flipping’ thing is to be ongoing you can’t keep them all.

@SportFury1966 11 месяцев назад

Good way to bugger/break the steering lock. Though I have no alternative to offer other than finding a mate who's a professional arm-wrestler to hang onto the wheel. No, it's better. NOS for this fine a car is best. 12:07 "We're free!" [something white falls out] Did I hear... chickens? I'm betting an auto upholsterer would do the card (or maybe all four) fairly reasonably if you brought them in stripped already. I suspicion they would have better access to matching fabric than you could find (and the sorely needed padding behind it). After that: sell it.

@goblin457 11 месяцев назад

I've just bought a 75 with the same colour dash steering wheel looks good in that colour might have to do mine, and not looking forward to taking the door cards off watching this 😣

@BernardSamson-hf6fc 11 месяцев назад

You did not lock the clock spring, which is very dangerous. it could be too tight on left turn or too loose on right.

@Parknest 11 месяцев назад

Matt, I was in the same boat with the doorcards on my BMW E36 318i. The foam disintegrates and the glue fails. Somebody has already mentioned the clock spring so you might want to recheck it.

@furiousdriving 11 месяцев назад

same as headlining material. The airbag plug means the clock spring can only fit one way, the yellow lead pulls it around as you fit the wheel

Are the only problems on the car the doorcard and the steering controls? If so - I hope they can be fixed somehow.

@tonys1636 11 месяцев назад

Learnt from experience that door card coverings even if leather are best left well alone. Any padding behind has always decomposed somewhat. Unless all is replaced then character with age is lost on anything not a concours restoration.
