Yeah, so far so good. I have the benefit of it having already been rebuilt once before. The chassis is a beautiful solid and clean galvanised one, and the bulkhead was obviously replaced at the same time. It's just a shame that they couldn't have stretched to a galvanised bulkhead too. Fortunately, I'm getting it before the rot has gotten too far on the replacement. It's the footwell seems that have the problem. The other area of corrosion I need to get sorted is the doors. They have gone at the bottoms and the sliding window guides are shot.
So far, the bolts have come undone with a bit of penetrating fluid and a carefully applied turning force. I'm sure I'll soon find some more problematic ones, but fingers crossed.
The biggest problem I can see ahead, is sourcing replacement parts for refurbishing the bits I want to renew, e.g. props, cv joints, etc. The elephant in the room is the gearbox, the PO thought that the gearbox was shot. I haven't been able to drive it to make a judgement myself. Apparantly it was making a lot of noise and was not good. When I moved it, it felt fine but there was a bit of noise. However, it sounded like release bearing/spigot bearing squeel to me. I have a second LT95 to go in if needed but I have no idea if it's any better than what's in already. It does have an overdrive fitted though so that will find its way in at some point.
I was struggling with RH front wing removal yesterday, contortions needed to hold a spanner on nuts inside wing at same time as undoing bolt from outside; my name is Cliff, not Stretch Armstrong.
