Busy day on the van today, got all the front suspension refitted with new joints, shockabsorbers and added a front anti roll bar as I had one lying around. Then moved onto the engine, fitted electronic ignition and replaced the leaking water pump. Might have it ready for the road soon.

MOT'd today.. front suspension overhaul shortly Inc rack and shocker conversion. Will try and fit a front anti roll bar whilst it's in bits. I've already poly bushed the eye bolts already but will do the top hat poly swop when top ball joints are changed. It's all original but bit tired after 40 years, but just mot'able.
