Hi, I'm currently restoring a series 3, and can anyone advise me on what shocks are best with parabolics springs? Thanks James

Cheers! I'm planning on getting my bulkhead galvanised (trying to do a proper job to eliminate rust issues! I'm having trouble removing the rear tub and seat box due to seized bolts!

Hi, Just thought that I'll introduce myself, as I'm restoring a soft top SWB S3! I've bought a new Richards chassis and currently stripping down the donor vehicle! Which is in pretty good nick and only a small bit of rust on the bulk head! If any of you guys have any tips and advice! it would be...
