Albert - the story so far
Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 9:50 pm
Pants! I had a loverly ditty typed just here and - unfamiliar with my new keyboard - inadvertantly found (the hard way) a key to the left with a big X on it. 
Anhow, what I was trying to write was that I have now made a start on Albert and so far have done the following:
Resprayed some small areas of tatty paintwork.
Cleaned interior panels and seats.
Removed and resprayed front panel/grill.
Waxoyled underseat and 1 sill (other is up against side of house)
replaced front suspension units with those from Joemog with discs and polybushes.
replaced front and offered up rear brake lines, master cylinder and header tank.
Drilled holes and partly installed front and rear seatbelts.
Cleaned and repainted rear axle ready to accept 3.9 diff.
Plusgassed engine mountings etc prior to removal.
The most difficult job so far has been the removal of the double nuts under the axle/spring mounting. I have no idea what size they are but I had to use an adjustable spanner on one side and a mini grinder on the other!!
