Well over due an update, so all this has been done in the last couple of months:
(A note to any purists, all removed parts are being kept and stored safely, I aim to be able to put the vehicle back to largely original specification if required in future)
New steering UJ, improved steering feel so much, combined with a new steering wheel (I couldn't stand the tiny rimmed original)
Took the car to a mate's workshop for the weekend and ticked a few things off,
Replaced old, slightly suspect brake hoses with new Goodridge Classic hoses
Rebonded the vinyl at the top of the c-pillars
Replaced speedo cable
Removed rear bumper and tested fitted rear wheels, looks pretty damn good, although may have to use a smaller tyre due to arch clearance issues
Removed front bumper under riders, may do the whole bumper at some stage.
Replaced the RHF quarter light so I can actually open it now
Screwed the mirrors into the doors properly, so may be able to see something out of them rather than them just flopping around
Lowered front shocks down to the lowest level, after freeing up many years of rust on the shock body.
Also I have a new set of wheels so decided to test this those,
Rear bumper removed and rear wheels fitted, looks so much better without the bumper IMO, and who needs number plate lamps anyway!
