Another quick update (too few and far between). Have had a pretty tight 5 speed 60a gearbox on hand for a while thanks to Kitch, and now have taken ownership of his immaculate Enkei rim's to stick on Miss Daisy. Looking forward to getting the wheels bolted on and giving the old girl a WOF and rego tomorrow. Rebuilt A15 should be a go for reassembly, just need the time and assistance to piece her back together. Can't wait!
Looking forward to taking some snaps and having her drivable for Akaroa before starting on the real task, everything else
More to come...

Bad weather today and unable get the wheel nuts off the first wheel... Need more leverage so will need to go out and find or source some better tools. Images of wheels and gearbox are as follows:

16042011007.jpg

If anyone can save me any time or money on tools for now, it would be greatly appreciated. Those wheel nuts appear to be on very tight. May need something more than man power lol
FYI, front right tyre has a puncture so car isn't rolling and spare in worse off condition...

Yeah that's my first step. Not something I keep on hand or have hanging around so in the process of sourcing
Cheers.

Sounds like a plan if the manual approach using a "power bar" doesn't work out. Will keep you posted, thanks!
