Lower the better. If you could pm me some details on wheels and various prices that would be cool. I'm on my phone at the moment and it's a nightmare

interior could do with a good clean up. engine bay, bit dirty, might give it a wash.

high 30's in normal day to day driving.
the gearing's a little low so that would improve a bit on a run if that was changed. it needs a diff from a 300c estate or d21 petrol 2wd pickup really. or even just a diff from a manual laurel or cedric.
the rear tyres rub on the sidewall when loaded as they've to much negative offset.
wheels with a zero offset would be better, maybe the current wheels could have the rear face machined? or i could raise the rear an inch or so.
