I picked this up off TradeMe a few months ago. She was in decent condition but had been neglected for a while. Looked like the owner just had a mechanic fix whatever caused it to fail a warrant. Here is what she looked like just after I bought it. (Picture taken at the Morris Registry of Auckland ride, good times ). I'll post some more photos when I figure out how to do it. I've gone through the engine, steam cleaned it, new distributor, wires, etc... electronic ignition, carb kit.
Since then I decided to tackle the groan in the rear end... So, while the wife and kid were away over the long weekend I bought a couple boxes of lion red (in cans) and got to work tearing out the rear. Came out a lot easier than I thought it would. Took me about four hours:
I found a second hand diff head with 69,000 miles on it. And swapped it in for the old one. Took me a couple hours, a liter of petrol and whole can of brake cleaner to scrape all the crap off the axle. But it came up pretty nice.
God! Those universal joints were a mission! Never done those before.
Took the leaf springs to Snell Springs in Onehunga to get them redone. They were sitting pretty flat. Looked good to be honest but I'd like a bit of suspension back there.
Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to move this chaos back onto the car:
