Nice job on the gearbox, looks like new
cheers pal, yeah im happy with the results
, so today i dragged the crane outside so i could gunk the block,
was a right state around the filter housing , and thick of oil
but after an hours work it was clear of oil, so i dried what i could off with an old t shirt and put it back in the garage so it could dry overnight , then tomorrow ill be cracking the drill out with the wire wheel and getting the block rust free as i can before painting it
here's a few pics

cheers , yeah its a mess, cant wait to chop the plates out from the rubbish atempt at a smoothed bay,
and get cracking once its been dipped
well not much happened lately as been waiting to clear the garage out and get the golf in , well thats happened , but now im off on holiday 2moro for a week, however ive now got the steel to build the roll over jig, so soon as im back, its all systems go to get its built so i can finish stripping it so it can go for any welding before going for dipping

All you need is a bed in that garage and I reckon you'll have all you'll ever need

Liking the wrinkle effect paint. Did you have to put it in the oven to cure it or did it dry like that on it's own? Got some to try on a special intake manifold on it's way to me

just left it to cure,
it says 24 hrs to touch, 48 to reasemble , but its still soft to touch now and thats been done over 3 week its like rubbery, its doesnt go rock hard
the spread of the spray is tiny , not like a normal tin of spray, so watch for runs ,
i got a couple on the inlet, nothing major and there underneath so not too fussed
