Thought I'd do a little update on this been a long time since I updated on here.
So It was pretty much run in to the ground over winter. Wasn't washed at all for months and months. Was covered in veg oil a right mess. So I started by getting some new tyres 4 new Michelns all round.
Few weeks later I moved house, had a couple of weeks off work so fitted the koni adjustable shocks, with -40mm lowering springs brand new top mounts and bearings. New arb links, new track rod ends, powerflex lower engine mount, new drivers side drive shaft. After all that got the tracking done really does handle very well now. Found some rust on sills after grinding back ended up with big holes both sides, got them all welded up and solid again.
Also at some point I de-filtered it, pulls alot better for that, and fitted a quick shift.
And after all that gave it a really good detail, so back up to its shiny self again all tho it's picked up a few deb
Dents its along the winter.
This is how it sits now

So it's hardly getting used now days hardly doing any deliverys now, as 90% of the time I'm a manger. Only go on the road do I no delivery if I'm needed to.
Next thing will be getting it though it's mot in July.... After that I may look in to power mods again, I do have piggys old gt2056 again (bought it back again off some one else) I've rebuilt it but not happy with it because there's alot of play in it still even after the rebuild, so unsure what's happening with that at the moment.
