It's not going to to drivable for ages. Still got to sort what gearbox and set uo. And have a complete wiring loom made. And finish the engine. I was thinking more of getting it paneled up and windows in so it looks half decent. And I lived in hemel. It's about half hour from my workshop. .

This might be worth a look at Tungsten Disulphide WS2 Powder https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193072865151?_trkparms=amclksrc=ITM&aid=777008&algo=PERSONAL.TOPIC&ao=1&asc=265569&meid=a6f62bc0b2614d5c8670be67844b979e&pid=101952&rk=1&rkt=1&mehot=pp&itm=193072865151&pmt=1&noa=1&pg=4375194&algv=WatchlistVariantWithMLR&_trksid=p4375194.c101952.m162921&_trkparms=parentrq:7a3a872118f0aab294efbe11fffe89d8|pageci:a1cd9bd5-1268-11ef-84cb-92c6e53fe610|iid:1|vlpname:vlp_homepage

Love an oil change. It's such an easy job, but the neighbours see you jacking your car up, getting oily messing with oil and filters and it all looks very serious.

Well, after being two years lost, the "black beauty" went to MOT and has been banned with minor imperfections: right sided steering end rod busted.
I'm getting one of these to do the job. Seems pretty easy.
One question: If I do it very "slow" and trying to keep it "straight as it was" do you think I will have to make a full wheels alignment?
