It's a nice car Peter and something different.
Easy project and getting a bit rarer by the year I would have thought

Unexpectedly had a bit of time today so I thought I would sort the binding brakes.
It was the offside rear that was stuck on.
Loosened off with a hammer put kept getting stuck from the handbrake.
For the life of me I couldn't remove the rear brake drum so will have to buy a removal tool. Never had this much of a problem removing a drum before but it won't defeat me.
Edit, forgot I have one in my tools cabinet doh

[Jeff Turbo]

Fixing time, removed and needs to be done

[Jeff Turbo]

Both of these were broken,
But both fixed now

[Jeff Turbo]

This is worn so I also need to sort this

Thanks Ian, Will be when I've finished it.
O rings arrived for the 'not so quickly' starting problem.
Replacement headliner will be nearer the car Saturday and ready to be recovered when I'm back up my barn.

Next fix, hoping this will fix the centre consol.
