Update 11.1.12 :

Today spent all day again on the engine,concentrated more on getting all front of block all clean ready for paint and de-greasing the sump. Used a circle wire brush on a drill and worked wonders.Did all top of block where manifold goes on and looks 10x better.

Decided to paint thermostat and dipstick pipe,also took dizzy off and cap off.

Here's some pictures :

How it started,thermostat and diptick pipe off







Scott busy with his wheels



Sump,alternator and starter motor painted again





Thermostat on and core plugs painted







Dizzy cap painted star silver and lacquered



A few of Scotts





Dipstick pipe back on











And how i left it for today





Update tomoz
