Just out of curiousity, where did you get it from?

It looks like one that used to be around mine and Toms area!

got it from whitchurch, Shropshire! Booking it into my local garage on Monday for a once over, full service and to sort out that leaning suspension! looks like a bust damper to me as the leafs look fine!

A bad shock won't cause the lean.

I presume it is leaning towards the drivers front spring?

yeah it is.. Front o/s. Also its seems stiff when reversing.. I have to give it more revs or its stalls.. could the rear drums be binding? this could be why its so slow too. there was a slight burning smell last night too. But I've put that down to having no oil. also jolty steering on full lock.

Got the spacers for the wheel rubbing problems!

The look very cool indeed! Arches are on the way, but still having trouble finding a new bonnet and drivers door.

Gave it an inside jet wash today to remove all the dirt from the previous owners mud smashing!!
and all the underneath got a good blast too.. still has bits caked on!

wish it luck tomorrow!! :)
