Put a new front end on my van

[Stiggytoo]

Noticed that the rev counter was becoming very erratic, and I heard short bursts of what sounded like pinking when the engine was under load. Poked the wires for the rev counter as it is an induction loop type, then saw the positive wire from my Metro distributor had come out of the spade terminal completely!

and started to install the new rear seat. and needed to turn my battery around due to the difference in thickness of the wood.

Bought a new exhaust, new wheels and Yoko tyres, new grill, new windscreen and rubbers and parts and oil for servicing.

Busy weekend ahead!

New spacered rear drums fitted so I can take left handers at a reasonable pace, without rubbing the shock absorber 

[BronkoMini]

Cleaned some oil of off the passenger side of the windscreen, though it was probably sprayed from another vehicle, got home and there was more on it again and loads of oil on the left wing and bonnet and all over the grill, opened up the bonnet to find oil dripping from it and totally covered on the inside, blooming rocker cover gasket need a new one now, could have been worse though.

Funnily enough that's the very same job I tackled too! Fitted the new drums, chucked my wheels back on and took a roundabout at a nice brisk pace, and alas - that awful rubbing sound was gone!

For whatever reason mine feels a lot more forgiving on the bumps. Handles much better now I'm not scrubbing speed off in the corners.
