Cosmetically to do a mechanical survey. Jacked 'er up and started looking critically. Its' like "The Wreck of the Hesperus" under there! Both U-J's are in need of replacement, ALL the suspension bushings are shot, tranny mounts look like melted Jello... My wallet aches just thinkin' on it. Can't believe I drove it daily like that. It has sat for the better part of five years now, so I shouldn't whine. Maybe it'll be a good opportunity to put together some GOOD tech articles./ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

And I found an original box of BMC lower A-arm bushes... Thought I'd found 10, only four in the box. phooey.

Any bids on Genuine BMC trade packaging?!?! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

You're right about the B Rob, but the temptation is strong. Still pluggin' away on the B. Elan's still buried under the debris pile of MGB bits-n-pieces. I'm sure I'd be on the Lotus by now if my eyes hadn't mutiny'd on me though. *sigh*
