Tbh I never even knew they came in a 3 door,was there many made?
NeitherThat's a nice looking motor.

Oil leaks come from almost anywhere, head gaskets, rocker covers, timing case seals, sump gaskets, even lift pump gaskets.
Is the speedometer itself working or just not clocking up miles? Cables do break, drive gears wear out.
think I’ll have a sharp learning curve with her,the fuel is leaking just above the chassis leg drivers side rear not had chance to find the engine oil one yet and the diff I’m not sure what’s on there buts it’s a mixture of muddy water and oil that’s leaking of the front.
fuel water trap is at back on chassis. under the bolt at the top, not the plastic drain at the bottom, coz they break.Neither
Neither
Yeah it was straight out of a How not to buy a car tutorial
Yeah it’s definitely the fuel pipe on or close to the bend above the rail,I’ll get the service stuff and the parts I need once I have a ruff idea,going to have a good look over it withFuel pipes run along the RH chassis rail, well worth replacing them for new as a matter of course, as MHM says, check and drain the fuel sedimenter, please keep this and ignore the numpties that tell you to bypass it, they rarely give any trouble and are your fuel filters first line of defence against dirty fuel.
Do a full fluids and filters service and a cam belt kit will be a good idea too!!!
Diff seals do wear out and are relatively easily replaced, a good idea to remove the breather banjo and if you have a compressor then blow the axle breather through, do the same with the other breathers too if suspect.
There are a few build threads in the members vehicles forum at the moment so there is plenty of good info in there to give you an idea if you hit any snags
Thanks,A few build threads
Enjoy your new toy. Looks good
I’ll have a good read through.
