It's a car I've always wanted to own, but there's no real love for it. Next car's a cossie.

IT IS ROLLING ON ALL FOUR WHEELS !!

 

put the car down onto all fours at 6pm today and rolled it out of the garage, ended todays work well as it was all prep for rolling such as rebuilding hubs with new bearings and ball joints, track rod ends and subby mounts etc anyway i am very happy with it and cant believe i got it done a day before my deadline.

 

couldn't get the ball joints to budge very easily, one came off with a bit of persuasion but i had to heat the other up for quite some time with the useful and regally used blow torch 

 

cleaned with new ball joints 

bearings removed 

 

new bearings fitted 

 

 

said goodbye for the night as the garage door was closing
