Thanks for the comments guys its good to get some feed back,will keep posting pics as things
move along,would like her done for the AMG. Still got to make up new fuel and brake lines clean
and paint some parts and wait for the engine to come back from the engineers, then rebuild her
back up. Few days work ( not ).

Cheers Fellers,
In answer to your questions,The workshop is spotless because it has to be that way as the
paint was done at a college by a young girl who did it as part of her final passing out exam,
as for the prep work i did this myself and a mate  did any welding that was needed.
amb,i am down in Darwen where are you based, just been told by the engineers that i can
have the block and head back next week so i can paint them up will do plenty of pics and post
them next week.

Thanks for the comments guys, Larsa is a lovely colour but you need to keep on top of
it to keep it looking like it was just painted,going to start on the brake and fuel lines in
the next few days as well as trying to complete the rest of the cleaning.
