I have got the rear shocks and springs ready to go if you still want, the fronts I should have sorted by the weekend. These axles are bloody heavy!!
Might even be able to come along to billing show... will have to see though as I think I got a wedding that weekend...

have access to a computer again. which is nice.
however while attempting to do a oil change recently i noticed hairline cracks in the gearbox (right next to the splined filler plug)
basically need another gearbox. all the rest seems ok. (for now)
any ideas where or who? (prefer someone on here who has used the 'box rather than RGB or fleabay)
also dont really want to fit it myself - so suggestions of cheap place to get it done over/by the weekend
or if i have to do it myself -exactly how much of a bastad is it to do?

melbourne, chelmsford but its only 5 minutes
cant think of any lanes in writtle

Essex Way is 5 minutes down the 1060 and good easter ford on other side

I need rid of this disco so gotta work fast, I will be leaving the boxes for now tho. The suspension will consist of shocks & springs, cones and tubular turrets, we will sort at the end of the month...
Have you looked into getting a complete loom? Pity your not nearer to me, it only took me a few hours to completely rewire mine. Im sure someone will do a diagram for it...

Cheers mate, Got the Haynes book of lies
but some colours ain't matching up with the diag, going to have to get the multi tester out and run some tests, doubt I'll get the loom back through the chasis so I think I'll put it in some conduit and tie it up nice and tight to the top of the chasis, il get there just a pain,even thou I work for bt I still hate wiring

It will be a bugger to get through so yeah tie it to the chassis, get some loom tape to keep it all together (you could use duct tape, its just as strong). Let me know if you need any breather bits as I got all mine coming off my disco...
Little website some people may be interested in:
www.wetroads.co.uk
Lists all the local fords in the area, may be worth a look...
