cool pics nick!

bonnet is up cos the gears got stick in 5th, then stuck in neutral when i got it out of 5th :grin: good old rod change

also, while i had the front on axle stands sorting the gear change, i noticed the diff is spinning slightly off centre  :shocked: diff rivet failure imminent   :huh: its gonna happen sooner or later  :grin:

I'm not gonna ask how you check the diff, I'd rather live in ignorance :grin:

Better get shopping for a cable change box and a shift tower then eh?

have got some rot removal to do at the rear for my next job, i found a half decent mk2 shell down a scrappy last year and cut bits off the back to patch mine up with. whats been done so far-



the car has been rear ended at some point in its life and the rear panel swapped, and being a c reg it shouldn't have the badge at the back, so thats getting plated over as well
