Springs are the same , only plus 2", the shocks give more axle articulation. But they are crap to fit.

Well, today I have replaced the UJs on the steering shaft in an effort to get the front wheel to point roughly in the same direction and at the same time as I turn the steering wheel.
There was a slight improvement. The drop arm ball joint is next. Then I may get to experience that famous "vague" steering everybody has been bragging about.

Put on 2 (balanced)front tyres. Hopefully the wobble may be gone.
Got some more speed stripes with @My Old Landy today

I reckon I drove those lanes last weekend, must have widened then for you...LOL
You were lucky, I was getting hit on the head by all the branches that snapped off.

Found the reason the reversing light was on continously, I'd connected the wrong green wire to it Rewired the rear wiper, got that right 1st time.
Rewired the leccy cooling fan, was sure I'd got it right, waggled a few connections and it worked a bit. Changed the relay, worked a bit better, changed the inline fuse holder, works perfectly. Fecking electrics.
Squirted some white silicon in the roof/screen joint, also around the glass in the rear door, splashed a bit more paint around.

That's the fastest I have gone in the old girl and no wobble
all that bouncing must have straightened up the front end Hicap phill

Finished painting the body.
Refitted the rear wiper and spare wheel carrier. Failed to fit the rear door trim panel that I had salvaged off my 110 before I sold it 7 or 8 years ago. Door check arm is in a totally different position between a 1985 110 and my current 1991 90. Think I will make one out of ply.
Faffed about putting some sound deadning mat on top of the seat box, got the seats back in, and started painting a couple of the wheels.

What on earth are you planning on dropping her off
That's a great picture. I love the way you have got the height and gradient perspective to show. Although, it still probably looked steeper and higher in real life. Whenever I take shots like that it looks completely flat on the picture

So looks like a blown a fuse to the side lights. Not got a tester to check as these are glass fuses and may just need a clean.
Now if I put the headlights on the rear lights also come on. I’m sure they should come on with the side lights ?
Sat towing a horse trailer @54mph hate this speed as it’s happy in 4th but don’t like 5th.
100mile round trip.

I have been wondering whether to weld this back on or replace it.....
