New Front End
Well the wonders of a 37 year old car is it's rebuild able. Totally.
Decided to put a new front end off a 73 144 to the 68 145 as the old one needed a complete rebuild and the 73 had already been done then the car was scrapped.
Sounds a simple 4 bolts and one steering shaft and the brakes. Move the hubs across and..
Oh no the linkages are all different!
Bugger.
Have to use the new linkages and the old strearing box.
Now she cruises slightly nose up.. Need to get the back replaces with new busses and king springs.
Rides well.
For another 36 years.
