Oi_Oi_Savaloy Posted June 28 Author Posted June 28 I have to say - early this morning - it wasn't looking good - car just wouldn't idle, rev or in fact run on 4 cylinders. But pleased the cleaning of everything has meant that it runs. massive relief. auntiemaryscanary, Sunny Jim, Wibble and 2 others 5
Back_For_More Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Just caught up with the progress...... Top jobbing - congrat's on the running engine. Major point in the project for sure. I'd missed the earlier statement but if you want to source a LHD seat from Belgium or around I can provide an address so you can have it there and I can bring it back next time I'm over..... If postage etc.... is the stopper. Just let me know. grogee and Oi_Oi_Savaloy 1 1

That's brilliant Back_For_More - thanks very much for the kind offer................that might be something I take you up on...........but there's a way to go before (but I'll obviously message before hand etc etc).
Oi_Oi_Savaloy Posted July 1 Author Posted July 1 And so tonight I thought I'd tackle something 'easy'.............thinking if i really went for it it'd be a 45 min job.............yeah. no. I took the rear suspension off to replace it. This is the end result............after 90 mins of a shambles trying to get the two (one of two) top nuts off. Still............got there in the end. And made a start of putting the new parts back on aswell. I'm going to give that spring a proper tidy-up before it goes back on the car but that's a job for tomorrow/weekend. There was more hacking, more swearing, more repeating of the 'it's such a simple car, how can it keep on fighting me at every simple turn?'..............but she does. Still, progress made. Trying to keep the momentum up. Stay sexy people. Sunny Jim, Back_For_More, mk2_craig and 3 others 6
