This sounds like a great idea

Well I liberated my Herald from Mansfield and took it safely back to its birth place in Coventry back in 2012.

They bite and I was wearing gloves.

Just tried from main site and works, but not from downloads on forum Thanks Pete for that suggestion

I get this message

It was a very interesting article and enjoyed all the photos.

Four door article link below. Good read https://www.maronline.org.uk/four-door-heralds-and-gazels-in-the-uk-and-india/

The stereo

No not powered but works a treat. My head unit has setting for powered or non powered.

I bought this one https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077GMM5G9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_QZD9M39DG4NEFEXAEE5B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Much better than using those windscreen aerials. Been in van since January and very good reception.

People need to remember MOT exempt doesn't mean road worthy exempt. I've been looking for a daily driver and there are a lot of classics for sale, even from dealers with no MOT as they are exempt! I have passed on those. I would always put a classic through an MOT, the advantage to me is I can be late getting it, but not too late. Better to be safe than sorry.

Aceparts_uk from eBay for the front and Autokoraltd for the rears also eBay (rears due 19th)

Well the fronts have arrived, Monroe made in Poland. Quality looks good, hopefully they will last. Just waiting for the rears to arrive now. Thanks for all the input 👍

Can't wait 😁

I know, but what the hell I'm retiring next year so will keep me busy. Although feel retired now with furlough, brilliant 🤭

Well if I don't find anything, it could be a road trip 😃

To be honest its not that bad, but there are some bodges that need replacing and some welding on the chassis. I thought if I've gone this far I might as well do the lot. It needs to be repainted from green to original slate grey, so one of the things I need to find is a local place to strip the body and chassis back to metal so I can see exactly what I've got.

Working on it, rear suspension and axles off and being refurbed since this pic

Need to get it back together first 😶

Thanks all, car set of Monroe shocks ordered and a very nice saving on the adjustable ones 🤑

Should have bought a Commer or Bedford 🙃 Good job tho

Herald shocks, is there anything wrong with the standard ones being sold? Asking as all searches bring up the usual adjustable KONI, GAZ and SPAX, no one seems to fit standard anymore or at least doesn't mention it. I don't need adjustable, just a decent replacement for front and rear, unless there are advantages to fitting the adjustable versions. When the car is back on the road(hopefully next year) it will probably do no more than 3k miles a year. Thanks in advance
