A quick update on my 83 Series 3...
Brakes were bled and now need doing again thanks to a leak on
one of the Flexi joints at the front... Job for this weekend
Clutch needs bleeding. Job for this weekend..
Seatbelts, a few issues around mountings and lenght have held
things up... Hopefully resolved this afternoon...
A few bolts to tighten up on the springs..
Goal to have it MOT'd by next weekend, work, CSA Shit and
Leaking hot water tank permitting... ;D
Mark
Now with wheels on...

Thats far too shiny you wont want to take down any narrow lanes
with scratchy trees and bushes.

Thanks for the comments...
The colour is Pastel Green.. It just does not seem to look like
it in the last few piccies I have taken...
The cars primary use is a shooting hack and my second car... It
will spend a lot of time off road here in Kent...
Hoping to use it on the last three shoots of the season...
Fingers crossed...

Excellent job. You put a new half chassis on like me but that's
where the similarity ends.
Why did you go for the wing mirrors and will you be putting
sills on? Mine has no sills either and I'm probably going to
leave it that way.

I went for wing mirrors in a moment of nostalgic purchasing, and
the fact the holes were already in the wings :)
The door hinges are drilled for mirror and it had boingy mirrors
on when I bought it, long since binned as they were pretty shit
copies.. I may go for the correct mirrors at some point..
As for the sills I have them, but yet to be painted... I am
going to see how it gets on, on its first trip off road, on my
shoot, hopefully this weekend, fingers crossed... I am thinking
they may stay off...

I like the colour. Everyone seems to be going Pastel now too.
