help!!

Would you mind, old chap, trying to take some more pictures fur us - and they hope it looks better underneath than outside.

the chassis has been given a clean bill of health but apparently the springs are shagged,the interior is my main worry because it's bloody awful.some toe rag nicked the overdrive unit off it and smashed the passenger side window to get in,it had no window in it for 7 years so it's really ****ty inside.

Oh the interior doesn't matter it'll soon clean up attack it with a pressure washer. Your gonna need to get another overdrive or the cog & cover-plate from somewhere. As for the springs replace em with Parabolics. Much better ride than the original springs.

towed it back to my house tonight and got bloody covered in gearbox oil because of the missing overdrive unit,i could smell oil but thought nothing of it until my wife asked me "what's that smelly stuff up your side"!

could have been worse last time I was asked that question I been laid in my own ****e & vomit for 3 hours

Yep she's looks tatty but all the important bits are there and in good nick too.
I wouldn't bother with Parabolic springs as its a V8 you have to hold up and the standard springs are fine if you oil them, plus there cheep.
As for the windows and trim i would put a request to this lot for help as someone is usually having a sort out or wait for the Sodbury sortout.

clivees,there was a complete set of windows hiding in the back which was a result,as well as some window runners.any idea when you want to come and get that engine and axle?

I tried telling me self it was all mine cos the alternative dint really bear thinking about. I will say this though. If yer gonna drink a half bottle of johnny walker red label and follow it up with an half litre of JW Black label. If you still fancy something to drink steer well clear of 3/4 of a bottle of Dimple whiskey it gives you the ****s.
