Think the roof is original?

Out of interest where did you get the centre section headlining without cut outs for alpine glass

very nice build by the way

It was in the motor when I bought it, its a laselle fibreglass thing, that I recovered with carpet

well we're in pieces now! Opened up as the input bearing don't feel great.

Doesn't look too Complex

Well, Its in bits now,
Diagnoses was........

Reverse gear chewed up, couple of synchro rings worn, rear needle roller damaged and the filter was all blocked with sealant snotters! parts ordered up and hope I remember how to put it back together

you rarely find an r380 rev gear without its dog teeth chipped or 1st/2nd baulk rings worn often all,rare for a needle roller to be damaged but rear roller bearings are usually worn

casings cleaned up, just waiting on my delivery from ashcroft, due today.

But this work carry on is eating into my fun time!

Stripped, cleaned, rebuilt. Almost ready to fit, need a few clutch parts and an exhaust and ready for the swap, I think?????

looking good fella

been a bit busy of late, works picked up and been waiting on parts, got the a/c compressor mounted.

Pretty much ready to start the swap over, just waiting on a few bits and pieces for the clutch lever. New mounts arrived for the engine.

So the usual cracked clutch fork, just about ready to pop through, looked at a few different replacements and decide to go for drilling it out and using the inserting the cup and nylon Bush, should make it nicer to operate and prevent it from drying out in future.

Deep fried pizza? Is that really a thing? I actually tried deep fried Mars bar, mainly just to say i had. Can't say i was too impressed.
Deep fried... good.
Mats bar... good.
Deep fried Mars bar... not so good.
I can't help thinking that deep fried pizza would just be a waste of good pizza!
I tried deep fried haggis too. I don't want to talk about that...

Looks like once Wee Kranky reopens the border i might be heading north!

Wee bit of progress, old slt out and the auto box too, output shaft on the auto box was so worn, that it must have been a bawhair away from completely striping!
No wonder there was a heavy clunk when going forward to reverse.

Both props are also needing the uj's replaced too and the input gear on the transfer box is scrap too as are the diff gears I think due to the black treacle in the transfer.

Got a bit of rebuilding to do and then get started putting back together.
