One step ahead of you bro - emailed the owner just then.. His user name is Lofty - and his dad's is Toff. They are in recent visitors on my profile if you want to shoot them an email yourself - but i looked at the last time they logged on and it has been a while so they may not reply as quick as i'd hoped.

Also - have a chat to a couple guys in Launy - they may be able to help you with temp. suspension if they isn't anything at mum and dad's...

Noticed a fair few things that needed doing to it but just have no idea where to start. i guess i will just go with it, get it looking half decent and start with some of the small stuff. Just going to try and get some new bumpers or indicators on the front cos the way they
are sitting at the moment isnt the best. Itd love a chrome grill or just to take the front one off but then ive got another problem with where to put the indicators. Hmmm....

My old car,

That engine has been pulled down and all new gaskets, carby cleaned, new leads, plugs, cap, coil, fresh fluids in everything.
Is a rather clean base to start with, i just lost interest in it.

Wiring was cleaned up alot, i sold it with crap suspension, and no brakes. so anything in that area is not my fault

Feel free to inbox me and chat,

Okaaay!!! so i had a look at the suspension and had a fair few troubles.. im fairly average at mechanics or anything car related really so it was a huge learning experience!

took the old shockies out:



they were chopped which really didnt help things out.



Had to replace one of the bolts as it was pretty much completely threaded :/



Got them out and figured that the top hats didnt fit, so alot of elbow grease was used to try get the top hats off the old ones only to realise that the threads did not match up with the hole...





So yeah, back in with the old suspension for the while and a rubbing noise that i cant figure out which is rather troubling. It isnt tyre on bolt or guards so i have no idea what the problem is.

Any ideas or suggestions would be great. Cheers all!!!
