Hello Lambrettalad,
Thanks so much for your reply.
Where do I start !
'Ughie' needs new engine,
(I have rebuilt original one),
and, I, have new g'box,
new front s/ab's,

rear springs & shocks,
I think there may be !? a problem with rear axle case?
won't know until I look,
but,axle does not sit level in arches,
new wings were fitted,(not by me)!
and it could be they are not lined up correctly.
This is/was mean't to be a 1 year project, but ill health has intervened,giving me restrictions in doing certain jobs.
I have all the equipment,hoists,engine lift,loads of spanners,and knowledge just not fit.
I have a van which needs to be got in and out of garage when working,
so, it is a weather friendly situation.
Warm Regards,
Brian. :D
