had Ratty out on the front again this afto, sorted out the speedo
drive converter, had to strip the new mechanical/electronic pickup
and fit the speedo cable nut and a couple of washers to it and it fits,
not tested it yet though.Also cleaned out the inside of all the crap ,
just needs a quick cut back to get rid of a bit of overspray , then a
wipe down. got to get 2 tyres as the front ones both have screws in :thumbsup:

I drove past today, but it wasn't outside :thumbsup:

Shame about the tires, if they aren't going down I wouldn't bother changing them, or are they repairable??

well sorted out the front number plate tonight, fixed it on
the subframe using a bracket, this enables the plate to stay
in position while the front is lifted.

o/s tyre is flat so the car looks on the p i s s !!!!!

also had to put a stronger gas strut on to keep the front up, but
it is lifting more one side :)|
