Re: A job for the next years
Some news from my project.
First, a Photoshop picture showing what I want to do
The new engine and gearbox are in the car and she is now able to move by herself in the garden
The front part of the body is almost done.

Engine and gearbox from Suzuki SJ 413, I don't know the commercial name in UK.
4 cylinders, 1300 cc, 66 BHP, 5 gears.
Engine and gearbox are alloy. The weight difference is amazing. The steering is very light like with power steering

Re: A job for the next years
Resumption of work on the LA 10 stopped during the reconstruction of the engine of the TR6 and various works on the Lotus and the Alfa.
Repair of rear brakes
Making the rear arches
Remanufacturing of the silent blocks of shock absorber rods.
While I'm on the shocks, two quick questions
What modern oil to use and how much in front and rear shock absorbers.
Thanks for your advise

I know that my transformation must be considered sacrilege here, but whatever. Work is progressing well. The mechanical part is finished, the body soon.

Re: A job for the next years
Sacrilege, you said, well better that it be used than sit in a shed never restored, and if it is done nicely as it appears....
Luvax dampers... there is a rebuild description here where he goes into a lot of detail, and uses SAE20 motorcycle fork oil.
But I would use Penrite Shocker Oil no 2, here
Sorry, don't remember how much oil, it was 40 years ago...

Fabulous garage workshop. Almost looks like a showroom. I'm envious.
