I have started work on MY 24v to sort the MOT fail.. Weather gr8...
Done
====
Replace front strut due to coil snaped
Part Done
========
Seal D/S downpipe. I have managed to undoo the front flange nuts ( how hard are they to get to!! ) but the sleve joint would not budge. I tried the joint to the main system, so far I have one sheared stud and one that was rounded before I got to it... So That's on hold .
To Do
======
PS Steering track arm
Chassis rail weld
Swap the wheels ( tyres damaged )
Let the garage do
==============
Coroded brake pipes...
Still a long way to go realy.. But it will live, and the borders meet will happen at some point..

Nice one.
Calls for a bit of grit and determination at times to keep these on the road.

Now got the downpipe off.
Use a nut splitter to crack the second rounded nut.
But now I am left with one snapped stud that will not come out, and one which may by badly scored from the nut splitter ( and I have no idea where my dies are )
