Cracking job.
By fk you got some use out of that before putting your hands to the grindstone.
Another 28 years more fun.
That should last another life time.
I’ve been on mine for a number of weeks and it’s all done bar a bit of fiddling and putting a nice E type Jag starter button in the dash.
The sense of achievement in giving them new life is hard to beat.

Alun, I did sort out the suspension wishbones about 10 years ago, what has surprised me is the amount of time seemingly small jobs take, no wonder the trade have to charge a fair bit for a body off.

Fantastic work there. Despite the hard work, it must be so rewarding to know you've done it.

Mine is 26 years old and still going strong, however I know the time will come in the next few years when I'll need to do the same. Unfortunately, I don't have a garage/workshop and ramps, so it looks like I'll be paying for the privilege!
