Thanks for the link to that thread.
Something else to check
Thanks for the link to that thread.
We've got some good discussion on lifts on the forum.Doesn’t time fly? Nearly 11 months since last update on the 4200.
It all took a back seat due to building a decent garage (the important part) plus rebuilding the house.
now somewhere dry and secure to mess about.
Next plan is a lift of some sort to make life a lot easier / safer.
Then few more jobs on the car as well as use it over winter

Thanks, I’ll have a look for those threads,We've got some good discussion on lifts on the forum.
My preference is Twinbusch and I've had two of there's for over two years in my workshop here in France.
In my 45 years on the tools I've used nearly every lift manufacturer working around the World.Thanks, I’ll have a look for those threads,
I was looking at one of these:
2 Post Lifts with Base: Cascos C3.2 Two Post Lift
Cascos C3.2 Two Post Lift 2 Post Lifts with Base The original Cascos Classic 2 Post Lift, first manufactured in 1965www.hofmann-megaplan.co.uk
But they’re expensive and probably an overkill really

...hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when you reassembled the interior you put the steering wheel on the wrong side.Heater core / matrix job done, not that bad really so long as you’ve the space to put the interior into.

After the recent MOT the front subframe looked very suspect, nicely painted black but hiding the usual serious rot on the offside filled with sealant / sika flex - shame on the performance car specialist (sells Ferrari etc) who had the subframe “repaired” prior to the previous owners purchase.
Anyway I have the old front subframe that came off my GS, as brand new was fitted to that.
so in preparation had this one chemically stripped by Envirostrip in tamworth.
Few pics of what’s left.

Now seeing what’s left it’s with a mate who’s a professional welder.
So should be as strong as new once finished.
The nearside looks ok, always the offside rotting oddly.
Anyway nice to have a winter project but didn’t really want another subframe job…
Hi,Where did you get your hoist/lifts? are they the ones for a motorbike?

Looks like oil leaks were from various places.
crankshaft front seal, cover gasket as well as the power steering pump hence the AC compressor covered in oily mess
