A pillar rot is the death of these old girls.
What happens is that the drain in the corner under the windscreen rubber get blocked (body shops quite often weld them up when dealing with rust around the windscreen opening) and then it rots through and water runs down inside the A pillar. When you’ve done the repairs to the pillar you have to open the original drains through into the plenum and drench inside the pillars and in fact all the voids with cavity wax.

Ball joints from KMS on ebay
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Genui...72.m2749.l2649
Shocks coming from winpart in Holland.
About £100 cheaper than lowest UK price.
Autodoc list them cheaper but when you go to order they try and replace with some of their rubbish which won't fit
Cheaper where you are?

From which website you got them ball joints and shocks?

[Tractor Dave]

I readied myself for battle


But so far the old girl is winning

I got a bush set from Albert (now Verkline ). The diff bush is a good fit.


New rear ball joints arrived. Good quality and reasonable price.


I also ordered a full set of Koni sports shocks. No point in doing half a job.

Looking good sir! What’s your technique on those steering arms? Blast cabinet?

No, just the wire wheel on the grinder.
