bit of an update:

-skimmed front discs, deglazed pads and lubed calipers = no more brake shudder :D
-replaced control arm balljoints, i noticed the steering arms dont have the ideal taper angle, so the balljoint will prematurely wear out, it became a huge dilemma when i wanted to fix it and pulled the whole front end apart, but id have to find a set of better steering arms to cure it, so it stays as it is.
-removed diffhead to check ratio and condition(was replaced before i bought it as had a locker in it), fitted and sealed diffhead, checked and adjusted rear brakes. still have only half brake pedal travel, may be a master cylinder or booster fault.

went to hamilton yesterday to pick up my car trailer:

its been a month, but ive been getting some jobs on the list done for the wagon:
- replaced rear shoes and drums
- oil and filter
- new fuel hoses
- get boot light to work
- get boot release cable to work
- replace carb float needle and seat
- fit carpet from 910 sss sedan

extractors from a 1600 didnt fit under the firewall, so am currently repairing exhaust manifold flange leak, and replacing exhaust pipe and rear muffler. no extractors and 2inch mandrel bent exhaust :(

pics to come, have some front end panelwork to complete soon! 8-)
