if you already have the polybushes wouldn't it better to fit them and make both ends of the 'chassis' the same i.e same stiffness?
Chances are if the rear bushes are the originals they will be 'soft' by now....
Just a thought .... epic weldathon though !

Yea loads of progress I now no she is solid at the front! I still need to remove the rear subframe clean that up and weld under there! (And also poly bush it!) And fully was oil (maybe wax pickle is what I should do) But for now progress is good! *fitted my rear strut brace* Now sometime when I drive I can make my spine hurt! Also driving with the roof off! We have experienced some great weather these last few weeks and the roof have been off loads! But I never get pictures I think it's because I'm out enjoying driving to much!

Another oil and filter change done! Good for a few more thousand miles! Also had the air con pressure tested today! It dropped about 3psi in 30mins which is apparently acceptable then it was topped up took a full 650 grams. Not sure of it was 650 or 750 so we went for 650 to be safe! It now works but it's not exactly ice cold maybe on a longer run it would be better? Anyone else have working air con?

So the last few days I have spent cleaning up my alloys and painting them! This is the end result! With some rim tape added

For a while now iv had a small oil leak at the back of my camshaft housing that leaks on to the exhaust manifold. Then I get some smoke and a nasty smell of burning or burnt oil! Song purchased the gaskets at Suzuki for 18 quid each and under took the mammoth job that is! First I removed the cambelt. The the camshaft housings. End result of a hard afternoons labour! Then whilst everything was off I have it all a small lick of paint! To take away the rustic look of rust and ageing engine parts! Then after it had all dried. I slowly wrestled it all back on! Except for one of my coolant pipes which unfortunate was so rusty and flakey that when I started to remove the rust it actually has serval small wholes in it! So currently I'm searching around for one. Then I can finish the job . Top up coolant engine oil and run her up check for leaks and that everything is all ok! So far this is the slightly new look. Without my shiney bits added!

Had one these a few years ago. Great cars. The aircon never worked or ours either.
Still got a few Capp bits kicking around, standard steering wheel, clear side repeaters and maybe a few other bits. You can have them if you cover the postage?
