What a week.
Went to see the car Monday and it is now in Primer - having a problem finding the correct paint code so that they can start painting,but should have that soon.
The engine build didn't go very well. Put the Crankshaft in and tightened the main bearings and everything turned nicely. Put the big ends in and tightened them down and the crank would not turn at all.
I took the crank back to the supplier - 200 mile round trip - and it seems that when the regrind was done it was done to close to the tolerances. Anyway will set it all up at the weekend and hopefully it will be ok.
Will hopefully have the car back fully painted in a couple of weeks
Can't wait
About Me
- Minor build
- Reaching halfway in life and wanting to do something that takes me back in time. Fortunately have a very good friend who is about to find out how cold it can get in a garage on wet and windy winter days.
About to see light for the first time in 25 years
