he wont mind i hope
Ian

Good work Ian, forward is the only way to go.

Once again thanks all for the comments, a little bit more progress today was achieved hopefully will get trolley finished tomorrow so i can start the rebuild later this week as i will be building it up on the trolley,

final coat on the last of the flywheels,



first coat on the block will leave to harden while working on the trolley now for a cpl of days then flat down and second coat, by then trolley should be all ready to start building up the engine,

a few more pics and not long to go one hopes,
Ian

Jonesey

i love how small they look at the start of a rebuild and then grow and fast part by part
looking fantastic so far to me mate
crack on and crank none
soon be blowing the famous smoke rings

Good to see you making progress, the block does look small compaired how big the engine is when finished. I thought you'd be wearing a white coat Dr when working on your engine

Fingers crossed that all goes well and she runs a treat for you.

Stu.

looking fantastic Ian as per normal .

Keep up the good work mate .

matt

Looking good big feller, the only reason the block looks so small is its been photoed next to you lol
