Thanks Pine....

So well after months of nothing happening, ive finally started again with this project. I have rebuilt the motor and last night got it started. .
Sounds very nice with new rings, alternator and exhaust and gave the tinware a new lick of paint. hoping to start with the body work in the near future... will upload the motor rebuild pictures soon...

You rebuilt the motor and put in used main bearings?

I know if I did that at home, I would be single....
Either single before I start, therefore being allowed to rebuilt in the lounge.
Or definitely single by the time I finished... (possibly dead instead)

So,
