Hi Barry,
This sounds great. Where are you located? I can use all the help I can get.
This poor car has gone through a lot and there is still a lot more I need to
do to it. The rear body is rusted beyond a patch job so I will need to make
replacement panels to get it back to a stable structure. I had planned to
make frame extensions for it and may still do that but the left side with
the fuel fill pipe is a bit of a stickler. The right side is no problem. I
don't mean to ramble but the car shows some body sag and has me worried. The
doors seem to want to pop open when driving around. I am not too sure that
back to original condition is good enough and would like the added insurance
of a full frame. I think this falls under "Rover Challenged".  
Ben

Hi Ben,
             I have one spring that is in good shape, not sure what side it
is till i dig it out from under the house. I wrecked 2 P3s so should have
more springs but for the life of me cannot think where they are, will have a
look in the next few days, have a car show Sunday so will be next week.
