I've been on here a while but never posted anything. So think its about time I put my Tolly on here.
This is just copied from another forum
This was beginning of Oct '12
I was sitting at work the other day when a man I know who buys cars, normally for scrap, pulled on his truck with this
Apparently it had been sat in a garage for 15years, it turned over but wouldn't start, but it looked solid enough. So after some haggling I became the new owner and he unloaded it ;D
found these in the glove box as well
I cleaned up the points, and it fired up on the button so I was well happy. Then I tried to drive it and the clutch went to the floor. After and hour or so stripping, unseizing and cleaning up the clutch master cylinder I tried again.............. to find the slave was seized to
so did the same with that and now the clutch is perfect ;D
The next night I put it in the workshop to look at freeing off the brakes, then got completely side tracked with this
and did this
only to one side though as all the springs we had are different ratings lol
the plan is to about half an inch to an inch lower than this all round, paint the standard wheels up with a slightly lower profile tyre and thats about it keeping it nice and simple.
