Done sod all tae mine bar drive it to work and back, then to the vets with the ferret and the dog! Ordered up some bits and pieces that ah need for me 'new' steering collumn along with some clevis pins etc for the throttle cable and then me neighbour came to me door with me new hub nut socket that came in the post today:D :D :D
 
I converted my P38 to coil springs as i had so much trouble with the air suspension. What a diference in the handling . It goes round corners without drifting at high speeds on the motorways now. Far better now than it has ever been . Also jet washed the underside to get rid of all the excess crap . Looks like a new car under neath now .:)
 
fitted the clutch arm,
sorted loverly,
then spent hours trying to mate the gearbox with the engine, 'cinnelllllll, after various crane, farm jack,winch, ratchet strap, hoist, jack, motorbike jack, lash ups, i finally found a winning formula, to do it, but it was dark so i come in.
i'll post pics tommorow i'm well pleezed with meself... couple of ratchet straps, trolly jack on MDF(facing a particular direction for secret purchase point), motorbike jack for safety/tea break support and left arm like popeye.
