if the icelandic goverment keep their "superb" job ongoing, can I then move into your garage with my landy? It's a bit rusty so I'm pretty sure I can fold it up in a suitcase.

Great photos, very detailed and informing for enthusiastic learners

sprayed the head with red oxide then frosts engine enamel,

then new valve stem seals were fitted
