Finally got the rear end all put back together and the swap of the hub adaptors worked out fine. Apart from service items and bolts, everything is all old stuff cleaned down and repainted.
Borrowed a mates lifting beam and block and tackle (starting to look like a proper garage now?
Removed the engine today and stripped down the front suspension....back to clean down and repaint.
Quite glad I decided to renew all the nuts and bolts as it seems that any old bolt about the right fit (and not so right) has been used at various stages...Good old Canleys its better than a workshop manual.
Going to strip the rest of the chassis tomorrow and that should be most of the messy stuff out of the way......oh forgot! fill sand fill sand fill sand.....
