1. Evacuated and pumped up both sides of my hydro suspension. Thanks Mick for your help and advice. Cars a lot better, (300PSI, 300mm front wheel center to arch), but I think either I need washers under the front knuckles and/or new/shorter rear helper springs to lower the back a bit.

2. Fitted new speedo to center instrument binnacle and did some rewiring and patching.

Fitted new Alternator now battery charges nicely. Founds she runs much better with a decent amount of volts coursing through her wires.

After yesterdays hydro pump up, I let it down a bit to ~260PSI and 280mm wheel center to arch height. Mick pointed out that 300PSI was on the high side, and that maybe I was being slightly paranoid about the ride height being high enough for the forthcoming RWC. Thanks again Mick.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

I finished swapping radiator etc from the 1360 onto the 1412 stroker. It's going in tomorrow!

If already having a nice day please disregard.

replaced some rusted bits in the boot, Morris sure didn't want that battery box to come out, dozens of spot-welds and brazed corners

Blacked the tires and i blacked them good.

Couldn't wash the car though, all out of wash.
