Sand Rover - Hop-ups!?

[blakeatron]

Well got my first vintage today - a pretty decent sand rover! All the major bits are there, so am just looking to do a nice clean rebuild.

I am quite capable of screwing and painting but not so good at fabrication - so i am after

Chrome headlamps

Chrome mirrors

Chrome metal roll bar (more of a single loop without the back supports)

Chrome 'Nerf' bar

Chrome wheels

New tyres

I am going to put modern electrics in so would like a new battery - would this one fit (dont know how to link so here is ebay no.) 300180065061

Many thanks

hi there that battery looks fine for your sand rover, does your sand rover have the 540 motor in or the 380.

[blakeatron]

The bloke before already fitted a 540 with a nice looking mount!

do you think i could run a black sport tuned in it?

Can u take a pic of the mount for the 540 motor. i just got a sand rover as well & it still has the 380motor hooked up. I think that I'll have to make a mount for it.

My Rover has most of the hop-ups you are looking for, but they are mostly alloy:

The wheels are available from TC member Rad22Rad Alloys.

The lights were made by TC member Cul-tech (not sure if he is making any at the moment).

I made the rollbar and front nerf.

I built a Sand Rover with most of the hop-ups on your list (all from the help of fellow TC members). Here is a link to my Rover.. The fabricators names are in my description. Hope this helps.
