Wow!! I quite like that, if I had the money and somewhere to park it to work on, deffo won’t fit on the drive. After reading this entire thread over the last couple of hours, it’s deffo had a few quid spent on it with time and parts. Very interesting vehicle for someone.

Yeah, it’s all been done in box section, to be fair the last owner did a decent job of some of the welding needed.. had to do inner , outer sills for mot not long ago, as it was a patch work job, so opted to have it all cut out and re done so it’s done.

Oh my god, that’s a mess.. genuinely would not even know where to start on that.. fair play to you for even contemplating it

Any good??

So, I don’t have that plastic thing on mine, but is this what you’re after???

I have a D1 mate, live in Blackpool, if it’s any good to you more than welcome to come over and take measurements from mine to make reference points. Mines had quite a bit welded up round that area too, and closes fine. If you want any particular pictures or measurements, let me know.

Fitted the arms yesterday.. 3 hours give or take with a brew , what a faff or a job, drifting out the old bolts was a pain, but all back together again, no longer drives like a shopping cart! Kept the old arms , just in case I decide I want to put it back to standard height. Cannot actually...

Yes, I believe it’s 2 in body lift and 2in spring and shock lift, this was all fitted when I got it, so I cannot be sure, I going off what I was told at the time last July. I’m only green laning in it and continental travel , want something capable and ok on the road as well, this won’t be going...

I now have my 3 degree arms and associated parts. I’ve liberally sprayed the old bolts with pene in readiness so it should be easier to undo years of tightness, roll on weekend so I can fit them, hopefully this will cure it. All my fingers are crossed.

Yes, those are standard poly bushes. Im going to meet up with my mate this week and get under his and take some photos and compare angles, see what his is like at 3 degrees. May get an idea then. Something a clearly amiss

As far as I am aware @lynall they are poly bushes and standard. All of this was fitted to it when I bought it, and it’s only after driving another I realised how bad mine was on the roads, never knew any different.

quite a bit of space @lynall or is that bad??

I need to find a standard one that’s not been faffed with, find a bench mark. Thanks @lynall , if anyone here has one that can take a cheeky photo of, I’d appreciate it

Hello all, odd question, how do I tell if it fitted with castor correction arms be it 3 or 6 degrees or standard ? Are they stamped? Mine has a 2” body lift and 2” shock and spring lift I’m told when I got it in July. Drove my mates with 3degree arms and the drive is totally different. Feels...

Good advice, not many garages want to work on older vehicles as well, they know the moment they start cutting and chasing the rust to find something to weld too, the cost is going to increase. Then you end up with a customer who’s not happy and a garage who could very well be out of pocket and a...

cannot find my digital copy of the workshop manual, but eBay will help you find one, hope the electrical one helps anyway.
