Trouble is, real work keeps getting in the way of playing.
just makes it look much better when the bonnet is up, you may as well enjoy the (cough) summer, I think I remember what summer is likei was going to whip round with a brush of hammerite. seriously though, once the interior is done ill run it through the summer to see what horrors and weaknesses show up. Next years project will be either the rest of the bodywork or the mechanicals. when i do the engine/box rebuild, ill strip the engine bay then.
how far you going with engine, re-bore ?engine bay actually looks much better now since i de-greased it so i can live with it till its time to do a pukka job.

quite even across all 4 really then, could only need decoke and valve's re-seating which would be a bonus as you can spend all day long on these thingsif necessary yes. ill strip it right down and see what we have. dont even know if its got hardened inlet seats or not yet. got 135+-3 across all 4 when i compression tested it so cant be too bad. box is smooth and diff quiet. may all just need refreshing but time will tell.
at least the grease preserved it well
