Next job was to swap the diff as it whined like anything when you got to about 50, found one on a Singer Gazelle in a breakers. Was rusty as hell in the sills, so bad that after about 18 months the doors were catching against the body at the top where it was sagging in the middle ! Didn't have the tech or know how to deal with it then so that spelled the end for it :( I had the Rapier, 2 Minx's, and a Sceptre Mk2 to play with at the time which really got up the nosey neighbours nose :).
