Thank you oh wise ones...and Enigma I'll need a pedal box too - Commer or Ford? There is a local guy who I will probably get the bits from, but i'll get a full list/instructions from you on Sunday [8D]
It will be very strange driving her with a manual stick...or just driving her
Well I've sent an email to Fonty's CAKE eating godparents so here they are for the rest of you -
We started her up and within 100 metres she was at 100 degrees so we stopped and had a summery cider
We had about 45 miles to drive and she did it brilliantly. Although she did get to 110 degrees soon after so I turned the heater on, the
electric fan and the windows opened. By the time we were home she was running at 120, but running really well - as good as ever. The roads back were up and down and - quite hilly but she was fine!
The wheels are from a Daimler and needed a little adapting -
Where the indicators were have now been repired -
NEXT is the water pump and then a repair to the back door, it is awful. The whole bottom has fallen out. Then a manual gearbox [:0]
It was fine ride wise. Definitely felt like I was closer down toward the road level and the roundabouts were less roly. A lot stiffer really. I have the rear coils strengthened too (is it the coils :I i've forgotten already!)
