Looked at it in the garage.... Then came back into the warm house!!
I may pop into the garage today. Look for my 3.42 gears, may be a way I can get the car back on the road without any cost until I get the funds for new parts.

I did have two sets of gears in the garage, but I think I sold them both. Let me know if you can't find yours, and I'll double check but suspect if I do have anything they will be 2.73:1 for a two series carrier.
I should have two sets a 3.08 set that was for the wrong series carrier, and 3.42 which were originally on there, I rarely throw things out, but I can rarely find things again.
Its only a temporary thing to get the car back on the road for a few months. If I have troubles finding the 3.42's I'll let you know as I could do with borrowing a set for a little while. I'm not worried about the ratio, I'll be driving the car carefully as I'll still only be 1 wheel drive.

Fitted an aftermarket hood seal. It's closes the gap between the leading edge of the hood and the nose cone.
Dug around in the garage, found my broken diff and in the box was my old pinion and gears.
This should get me rolling again for now.

I started up the old car and got it out today first time in 3 months so I could get on with insulating the garage nearly there, gave it a quick run around before putting away still seems to work ok 
Some racking next weekend and finish the insulating then I might get time to do some work on the car.

Only if you've forgot to do up the wheel nuts again lol 350 miles !!!! Must of won the lotto lol
Well didn't quite go to plan. The pinion was pretty well seated, managed to tap it out, but shrapnel from the teeth seemed to be jammed in the bearing carrier.
I need to get new bearings now before I can go any further.
Was a tad chilly out there, came in a few times for a cuppa and to warm up.
