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..

Got bored so thought i wonder if it is possable to polish a turd well i can tell ya it is possable

..

First three pics are of before

Well these are the AFTER pics

See ya can polish a turd after all ..

Put the front suspension in today .. What a cock up i tell ya..

Got the Ubolts yesdy for the front Now there in..It doesnt look very safe to me..

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..

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..

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.
