It'd be criminal to not reuse those OE shocks now they've been on long enough to bed in.

Beer situation in West Sussex is awful i'm considering turbo cider if I can get enough Apple juice, or drinking some wine :(

Just wondering why you didn't clean and paint the chassis rails on the 109 while the engine was out?

Ben
do the chassis then I have to do the engine, then the axles, then the springs and before I know it I end up doing a nut and bolt resto and not a quick flip.

I plan to Vactan and spray some dinitrol over the top. The chassis has been cleaned back ready for it.

The 109 must have just missed out on the 5 main bearing lump. Think they got them from around 1980.

Excellent work as ever Richard.

I've got 4ish series lying around needing the Stag treatment if you're ever at a loose end.
