Engine in place[]

[blade7]

You haven't polished the torque tube [].

 

[Kongsodoken]

Correct[]

But Polishing is so last year. Does look rusty in the photo but it's been rebuilt,

 

[blade7]

Is that your workshop ?

 

[Digi944]

Is that your workshop ?

If it is, then it proves that anything is possible, even without a ramp!

 

[Waylander]

just dam gobsmacking, the attention to detail, when you going to do the next one Ken?

 

[Kongsodoken]

Is that your workshop ?

Yes

I have a shed and a lean to no garage[]

but house is up for sale looking for a small house with a big garage[]

not doing another one yet maybe when the bank account has recovered and I'm retired

looking for a small house with a big garage[]

Me too, prices have got silly though. Looks like I'll have to wait for the next crash.

Yes

I have a shed and a lean to no garage[].

I was wondering about the pic of the workshop with the lift ?

That looks like SimonP's lift and workshop (but it's been several years since I last saw it so could be wrong)

Your correct all the engine work is Simons

Just read this thread from start to finish, what totally awesome work! It's going to be absolutely fantastic once completed!

Given the attention to detail I think if Ken wanted to sell it this car would have international appeal.

 

[Frenchy]

If Ken wanted to sell it he needs his head looked at, he needs to have some pleasure now by using it, epic build, they were not as good as that when new, it will be interesting to see what it is valued at, wnichnonviously is a must for insurance purposes, you also need a salvage rights policy Ken should anything hapen to the car, God Forbid.

cars back home engine runs but still loads to do[]

no vacuum system, and loads of cleaning plus I need to change out the hose clamps for yellow/gold ones

Got to sort that Silver dump valve

fitted the power-steering pump and high pressure line today[]

 

[mechanicalrepairs]

Looks amazing.

[Kongsodoken]

really hard to find gold passivated hose clamps so got a batch of clamps and fixings plated and gold passivated []

did the bonnet light at the same time[]

 

[Kongsodoken]

replaced all the hose clips for gold ones

Fitted a new air box

just got to replace some to the vacuum lines with original ones and I need a new fuel damper but were nearly ready for MOT still loads to do but nice to have it running.........

 

[jonnyporsche]

You won't be wanting the your old air box back then Ken[][] Awesome work.

 

[blade7]

I reckon losing the long intake tube and fitting a short duct from the air box to a NACA duct in the bonnet would give some more power. Should have kept that old bonnet K [].
