well it still needs its headgaksket done, so that will need doign and my mum wants the 5 gone so looks like its gonna stay an NA C1J for a while longer.

Needs the backbox changed, its holed and I bodged it with JB weld but its very flaky, its the original back box, so 15 years ain't to bad tbh! Centre sections been changed at some point and I have a nearly new centre section in the shed as well anyway.

Back box is holed where the mount on the hoop over the axle goes, only the c type exhaust have this mount, bolts in the chassis rail then a normal rubber hangs from it.

What happened this vehicle that you were to be looking at last night? That would make a nice donor and break the rest, parts should sell easy from that i'm sure

That sounds like a good plan to me, i'd have it off ye then! Very Happy

I'm waiting for the guy to come back. Hes popped round a few times cos his mrs lives here, but he lives near roddy himself so its a wee bit out the way.

He will turn up again at some point unless its sold!
