today I went shopping for a gasket set and timing chain and new head bolts.. forgot to get a fan belt but that's easy enough to change later on..

I then removed all the stuff on the top of the engine down as far as the inlet manifold gasket.. didn't expect to find that under there :D

hopefully the heads will come off tomorrow... fingers crossed...
 
got some top notch advice
broke some clips
broke an arch liner
removed some skin
snapped a vacuum pipe

and the snorkel is only half fitted!!! :doh:
 
In the past couple of days ah've managed tae get everything bolted to the bulkhead, waxoyled the front chassis, got the bulkhead lined up, roof/sides and windscreen bolted down, chassis to bulkhead brackets sorted (no spacers needed), fitted the spare doors to help with alignment, fitted door rubbers, fitted all the dash stuff, connected up the wiring except the front lights as ah've still tae put the wings back on, painted some small bits and pieces and probably a couple of more things while sufferin' the dreaded man flu!:(;):D
