Ah I've spoke to a few people with poly bushes in the arms on the rear and they said they couldn't tell the difference.

So it's been a while but I have a little time to update this tread

The rear suspention is now compleat




I have headed the warning about the polly bushes but I'll be changing to adjusteble rear beam soon I thing so I'm waiting out on that.

All the breaks are now fitted but looking a bit tatty as there outside no moving








Steering rack cleand up


Under the bonnet put back together

Iv been checking the wireing as it goes back in but no doubt there will be a few issues still



Then it started looking like s car


Gear box was put back together after the clean up




Then the front diff was striped and cleaned up


Fitted the the engine


The engine is In good order so all iv done is a service. Now oil / filter plugs and a general clean up



New fuel piping made up







Fitting on the fuel pump


Props cleaned up


After the hyd cluch was all piped in I could fit up the underside


Boot done

power steering fittings



Down pipe cleaned an warped


New drive shafts




Then had to move her as the old shell sold





Now just trying to sort the powere steering
