MY WAGON new toy

Ok well heres a little bit of progress while i'm waiting waiting for our tax to come back so i can get the parabolics, good price on em to $1230 all up all the springs U bolts & all shocks & axle straps..Plus gotta get tyres for it aswell , just going to use retreads for now..

I fixed the rear of the roof as i found 2 holes & the hoodlining was wet & the under felt stuff was soaked..

Now to the springs even with the V8 in it they didnt move at all when i droped it back on the ground , I even jacked it up a few times to drop it quick & bounce the ****box..

These are the shackles when i put it back on the ground & bounced it ..& NO THERE NOT TIGHTENED YET ALL STILL LOOSE..

Drive shaft is at full stretch ..

I seem to have lost that pic GGGGGGRRRRRRR

The car now , you can see it sits high at the front..

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...012/08/350.jpg

The bloody shocks wouldnt even stretch to reach.Will have to jack up each side & put em on & will have to do the same when i get some longer Ubolts..

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...012/08/351.jpg

I seriously think its time to change my suplyier they are starting to get so bad with parts its not funny.Karen went upto them yesdy to pick up the springs & the new guy spoke & treated her like a peace of **** then she had to go back to get the Ubolts later ....NOT ****ING HAPPY JAN.


The engine & gearbox is looking like a good swap into Harry at this point..Usualy Karen helps work on the cars as we do it together but she doesnt anymore & im getting real sic of doing everything meself so a toyota or nissan would suit me right now..

I have read your rebuild with great interest, as for I'll fitting parts this is getting very normal these days, I am told front genuine u bolts are like hens teeth, yes you can not so good britpart ones but there wrong fitment.
