Started cleaning out the corrosion in the water jacket tonight, what a horrible messy job!:confused:
Once I have cleaned up the block inside and out I can get it in for a rebore and start assembling some of it, however its going to take a while...
Well, after a long break where I was busy elsewhere (thats my story and I will stick to it) I decided to start on the engine this week.
Started pulling bits out to start cleaning, repairing and painting so as to get the machine work done.
removed...
If you ever remove an engine. Tape up your loom. Otherwise it may dangle onto the prop when your winching and wrap itself up and rip 🤢
Resto moved to its final build place I hope.
Finished fixing dash at lunch. You can see it’s just started to curl. The repair kit is on it’s way and will be much easier without the dash in the car!
Small repair at lunch. The metal bracket that holds the stereo and centre vent panel had snapped off from the dash. I managed to bolt in a bit of metal so that it could be held in place again. Eliminating potential rattles.
The plastic here...
The vermin hole being dealt with whilst I carry on with the rest of interior bits. May be a bit boring but keeps the thread up to date with the restoration requirements.
Should be a bigger update coming to this thread next week! 👀
Leather...
