Matt

got my material for the seats  

Where you getting the seats done ?

going to do them myself, well have a go anyway.

how hard can it be  

started on the badges




and finished



also got the engine cleaned up ready to go for a rebore

Loving the green diesel block!!

Bare metal engine block looks good, a pita to do, good job  

Matt

i have been told that they paint blocks different colours when they have been recon'd… not sure if that is the case here though.

i have ordered some of this stuff to paint it with anyhoo   should look like new when its done



also ordered one of these to top it off haha



any ideas on what colour to do the rocker cover? its going the same as the body but if anyone has any good ideas?

All diesel blocks at green from the factory

ahh didnt know that  

The vht paint is good stuff, I've been using it. Has a good spray nozzle you can use quite accurately and lightly, even for a dumb fingered oaf like me  

Matt

block now rebored and like new



picked this up for later on in the year, thanks to Mk1dcky



also welded a few plates on the sump, not the prettiest thing but better safe than sorry

That paint is stunning  

Love the tucked wheel photo    engine block looks sweet too.
Matt

thanks lads, after fitting the pistons, crank etc i left it standing while i worked on the head.

unfortunately i didnt notice the oil running out the random holes and down the side of the block, which has now turned the paint green . doh!!

head should be back any day now, then i can build it back up and put it in  

This looks great, looking forward to seeing it done! which air bag kit did you use?
