Engine Re-Build
 



This is the engine and gearbox when it first arrived. there is a pretty good chance it has not been in the car for nearly 10 years!!!!  As with the rest of the car it has lives on a farm in a barn for the first half of that.
First job was to seperate the engine and gearbox. this being the findings, a nice cosy mouse nest made from corn and barley husks. This stuff had got itself into every thing!!!!

Jump forwar a few months, everything cleaned and checked. the internals of the engine were supprisingly clean and tidy with little wear. So this is time to re-build. here you can see the new clutch assembly back in place

How different an engine can look with a tidy up and a coat of block paint!! All ready now for the gearbox to be mated up and then back into the car.

And here it is all back in place for the first time in mant years. I did want to put some shots in of it going back in place, however with all the lifting, pushing, lowering and panicing I forgot to take them...... All of the low tension and High tension circuits have been replace with new.
