Man there are a LOT of jobs on this rebuild. It has been more work that I thought simply because I remove something and see it needs redesigning so its taking a lot longer than a normal reuild would. Anyway here are some parts I had made
My stainless subframe mount kit, a much better solid dogbone and a nicer cap for the hall switch.
I decided to fit the H&R anti roll bars I had lying around. For this of course you re-use the standard mounts.
If you are careful you can drill out the riv nut using a 13mm drill and still use the nut part again
This is my modified subframe so the mount for my rack does not push the gaitor off the end like it was before!
My bushes fitted. 1mm stainless. You have to loosen the whole subframe for these to fit nicely
This is the engine just about complete
And back in the car
LOADS more to do
This is a tentative list of jobs left over!
1. Doors need rehanging
2. Door upper window frames need putting in doors
