yeah is was as bad as ures when i got it mate and was worth it as when was cleaning and painting under the bonnet found i had a webber 34 car on her so thats a bonnus ha
my dad has just bought me a 34 weber, but its for a 1.1 so it needs re-jetting
now my suspension is done so i can finally get some de-waxoyling done
although not this weekend, work work work
also, you've chosen the wrong place i think for your axle stand… i would put it where the wishbone meets the body.. directly back (ish) from where youve got it.. gets it out of the way 8)

i got some BOGE ones, but for coilovers you're probably better looking for either Bilstein or Eibach to be honest

Don't get too obsessed with discs unless you're putting a really potent motor in. I was - and was adamant that I would keep my rear discs after doing my resto. However, had a spin in chudds 8V and with rear drums the brakes are just as good!
It would save you some effort and ???! :wink:
