Picked the 138 grey up today. Also painted the shell in 2 pak hi fill. (Im a spray painter by trade)
Tomorrow the dash will be painted, subframe re-coated and bolted up.
I love putting her together
So much more fun than pulling apart

Good work there John, the body looks really straight. 
That grey needs a tidy up and a new intake manifold gasket. You might want to convert the distributor to electronic ignition too - works wonders for a grey, no stumbling at idle and more pick up too.

Being a spray painter by trade she'd better be straight or I'll cop some crapStygian wrote:Good work there John, the body looks really straight.
The grey is meant to be a goer. Im taking the advise of the guys in my engine thread and i'll drop it in and give it a run. If she needs a rebuild then she'll get a rebuild, but im hoping to get a bit more life out of her.I'll pull the head and sump off, new gaskets and see what happens.I'll paint her up all pretty.
Anyone know if the original engine colour can be bought in engine enamel?

If you're fastidious then you'll need to mix up something to match the grey. But if you're not, then you can get grey engine enamel in a rattle can that is close enough (that's what I did).
