So stripped the engine off down to bare block. Everything seems fine apart from the Haynes manual being wrong on measurements . The good side got the head off to be pressure tested and the block to the cleaners and to be rehoned. On the bad side knocked a piston off the bench and broke. The skirt off it

id get the grill and lights on before you paint it mate, minne looked good but didnt try the grill and lights and moths down the line when i put it together it looked like the front panel was a little low

Will try that but sure previous owner said he tried grill on when he welded the panel in. Will double check. Thanks

so i got the engine fully stripped down and sent the head off to be pressure tested and the blocke to be honed and cleaned ready to be painted.
i grabbed some bbs on ebay for cheap that needed some work, so got them stripped and made a start
then decided i would need a cover for when the car comes back from the body shop so grabbed some material
Then friday i had a call off body shop saying they have a slot for my car, so off she went
