Back wheel is fine - looks like the same fitment we had.

 

I recommend this site for choosing tire sizing - try to aim for the outer diameter of the tire to be the same as stock.

 

We used some $90 165/60/R14s and they were pretty marginal as to whether we needed flares or not - if you pump up the suspension and find a nice wof guy you should be fine.

 

Will look sick if you can get it fitting right!

Anyone else ever noticed that the left rear door always starts to rust before the other doors on these? I've seen so many that are pretty good apart from the left rear door. Lines of them in the wreckers all good except for the door I want.

Possibly because it's on the kerbside, so the water runs that way, and the mud splatter more likely to block the drain holes?  Everything with an Austin or Morris badge leaked water somewhere (and often in strange places) - my '67 Mini and '73 Marina did.

Agree. Cranking speed is rather pathetic.

Check all the earths and cables.

On a car that old they may have corroded and the cables may have seen better days.

Charge and check the battery properly (or use a known good one)

And check the starter etc.
