I have been busy putting the motor together , stripped the gearbox and resealed it - the gears have a little bit of rust on them but I am hoping they will clean up - will drive it around the block and change the oil , that should fix it :lol:
Spent the last couple of nights in the shed stripping the front end down , had the bits blasted and last night I painted the motor , box , lots of little bits like the fan , generator , starter motor , etc and all the bits for the front end. Got to bed at one , back in the shed at 4 this morning to paint some bits silver then got on a plane at 5:30 to fly to site for a few days work :cry:
I get home friday night and providing Rare Parts get my front end bits here by Friday I will be in the shed this weekend putting the front end together and the motor and box in :D :D

113 days to go - but who's counting :wink:

Pics to come on Sunday night

I'm going to put a 9" cutting disc through the lot and using either a LH front ala Gaz or using a HR front and Cortina power rack.

Hopefully today I will get the front suspension together and maybe a bit of candy on the motor - first I need to get rid of a fairly large hangover :cry:
