If the drums are well set up, they will be fine, even off road. The only downside of drums is that they tend to wear out faster due to the dried mud acting as a very hard abrasive! I wouldn't change axles unless the original is completely kernakkered, and even then it is easy enough to replace...

If it's a properly tuned engine, not one that has to be 'adjusted' by an expensive eletrickery bit that plugs in, then the emissions are extremely low! Mine is a 1989 NA and the exhaust chucks out between 40% and 50% LESS than most on the 'greener' cars in for their first MoT. Tuning skills are...

Being tightfisted, I have used the very old plastic handle on a very old screwdriver, which even has the grip slightly reduced at the end. It has served me well through my Series I, Series II, Series III, 90 and now my 110. They just don't make 'em like that any more ;);)

There wasn't a rattle as such, it was more of a rubbing/scrapeing noise as if the gearbox was running without oil, and there was also an oil leak from the hand brake backplate, which suggested that the noise was gearbox related.
