Having finally fitted the front propshaft we took George for a test drive yesterday, just a few miles up the road to a couple of byways near Cold Ash.
Other than being quite noisy due to the silencer being knackered, there were no major issues. The steering was somewhat wandering about and the headlights decided not to work.
I have had a go at tightening the steering box adjuster, so am hoping that this will help with things as all the other steering bits seem tight.
There is still a problem with hot idle speed being far too high. Not sure what to do next though as I have now had both SUs off and been through the setup process. There is new vacuum hose to both the dizzy and the brake booster and I can't find any other obvious air leaks.
Anyway, now for some pictures.

Next jobs are to sort out the roof / windscreen fixing to stop it banging and clattering, sort out the lights and to fix down all the flooring and panels.
