Turn the lays haft upside down when you receive install it..but it does look pretty worn.
Got all new bearings shaft needles etc gearbox won't be perfect but should last a while
Still got 2 springs to account for will be in the bottom of the box somewhere amongst the sludge in there should find roll pin and thrusts there too never seen a gearbox si
So feral inside full of sludge

There's much still to do but with a chassis number 5213. I'm picking its a very early car original owner believed it the first sold in queensland
Every part that was replaced in its life came with it 6 sets of worn out brake pads 3 master cylinders even old spark plugs plus 2 bonus 10 packs of new NGK plugs

Even the original seat belts he fitted recoil belts soon after buying it
Even a brand new lh tierod assy shame coz I need right hand one
Cvi in sweden is a good source if you have a list of things for it.
