	As title, got it a while back from kilmarnock - but have been too busy driving it/getting all the scottish paraphanalia off it to get pics before. But here they are. Plans are for a rangey 4.6, all mod cons inside like air con, CD, nav. Outside it's 16" smoothies, tints and a biiiig hit with the stick. Gnarly.

	I say keep it as it is, but chuck the 4.6V8 in anyway. It's goooorgeous.

Drove it on a wet day once and nearly pooped myself on the motorway. But yeah, the exterior stuff will be pondered the very last - so might not get done.

	Thats sooo cool! Looks a nice example too. Loving the sound of the plans, it will be TEH ULTIMATE KROOOZER when your finished, freakin ace! I had a P6, but always secretly hankered after one of these puppies.

	Fck me a P5, the Guv`nor of them all! You just wouldnt fck with this car, its like a 60 year old bloke who`s still a bit tasty and could get you cut up for pigswill. Didnt think jealousy was something I`d experience ever again after the new arrivals but I`m getting a twinge looking at these pics.

	hi there, glad to see someone else is busy to build a Rover P5 Rod. i´m in the Netherlands, building my own V8 Rover P5b right now, lowering it on the front, putting in a 4 litre lump, removing bumpers and all aditional stuff, respraying it matt black, with a burgondy red metallic roof, whitewalls and scallops. would you really go for a 4.6 litre lump? i´m told they´re not as strong as the 4 litre lumps, breaking apart, as they say... Anyway, hoping to see some pics again soon, i will be posting my pics on an other entry myself soon... Greets, Chris

	Wow that would be amazing to follow and see pics off - I don't have the guts to matt black this. Yeah i've been told about the 4.6 problems. I'll have to decide, but once all the work is done if the engine goes it'll just be an easy engine swap.

	Lovely looking car, nice in white too. I'd agree on the motor aswell. A 3.9 without cats will be stronger and just as pokey as a later 4.6.
