well, i was asked to help a family friend clear out her garage and load some 'junk' into the skip the engine including gearbox and whole box of brand new spare parts, was going to be skipped. i asked if i could have it she said yes.

it came out of a 1920/30s broads sailing boat. havnt got anything to put it in so il probably sell it once ive finished restoring it to original condition.

good engines reliable as anything, lent one to somebody once and they dropped it in while running :(, after 5 hours of being on the bottom we got it out, took the spark plug and drained the water, dried it off abit and it started good as new. got two of them in the workshop for a reason :)

I could get LZ courier service to get it but have arranged to pick it up this Saturday, Never thought of it really stupid really cos we did move some bits before.

I got a small fibreglass tender I rescued from the sea all sad looking a ride on the company car roof and some fibreglass its now half sea worthyish. am going to re glass it sand and fill it paint it camel colours and whack it on the roof of my landy so people can throw money in on the London 2 Brighton run to be donated to Help for Heros. Then just for some amusement might take it out with the engine while at Brighton just for some giggles. Thats the plan anyways Landy still needs a CV so I should be doing that really but hey its for charity
 
Got the roof off the Series yesterday, floor panels out today, seatbox and tub prepped for removal tomorrow. It's been a hard day for the angle grinder !
 
Removed the front O/S door card to see why the window won't fully close, sodding window mechanism has got two bent teeth:doh: just as well I've got wind deflectors to stop the rain getting in .... managed to sort the stiff interior lock button on the passenger side though:D and all this without breaking the plastic clips:eek:
 
finished bodging me diy snorkel...it looks the part :) and cuts out when i cover it so hopefully it'll do its job, just need to get out and about and test it so alll offers considered :D
