Spartan is on a distinguished road
The plot thickens eh? I guess it will all come out in the wash when I strain everything and try and do this over a quiet weekend. I am still waiting for the parts to arrive, knowing our Border Force they are likely to think they are parts for a gun and with hold them...No, I am not joking, it has happened before!

This getting old crap is for the birds My brain keeps telling me I am stuck at half my age, but my body having been through many kinds of abuse, (and not self inflicted either ) complains after 30 minutes.
What I used to do in half a day now takes all weekend, maybe two hours in the morning and then recovery the rest of the day, with the same the next day. This is worse when leaning over and into the engine bay for some reason.


No amount of money the Army gives me can replace my leg or back, let alone the other problems. Doing the work myself is my cathartic release and satisfaction though, so a catch 22 situation.
Without the knowledge and support of the people on this forum I honestly think I would have sold the car and given up...but, here you all are with many lively bits of information and help.



I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU, you all keep me on the sane track and moving forward slowly, learning and improving each time.
