After 6 month wait, Project number 2 is coming home :)

No grinding has been done done at all in the garage. The dust on the car does not as it will be washed soon enough before it gets painted.. And the engine is well covered up, with blanket and a sheet of cardboard on top og that to keep it dry and dust tree, all ports/spark plug holes are also blocked off. .

Just always seems to be uncovered in your photos?

I probably phrased "grinding dust" poorly - I mean any dust/dirt, which looks likes it's blown in/under/around the tent, will be acting as grinding dust inside the engine when it rotates.

I worry about anything similar being uncovered in my pretty sealed garage - when I rebuilt my hemi, it was buttoned up as quickly as possible.

I wish spring would hurry up. these little jobs are getting tedious now. I am trying to spread them out so i have things to tinker with.

All thats got done is the other exhaust fitted. still need to sort the hanger bungs though. The Sway bar / ARB and i thought as i painted the fan ill see how it looks.

I was trying to find one of the ARB bolts but then i remembered one had stripped and was bolted through. Only after searching all over for it.

I only needed the power a steering lines from the pump to rack but as i got a full kit at a good price i fitted the lot. mite aswell while i am here. I have been saying that all along, the reason i have done all this. Oh While i am here. lol

And as its near time to run it in and not wanting to put the blame on anybody else when it goes boom and blows a piston i made this up so i am in control myself.

The last few bits, i hope anyway, are on there way, a bit of pipe work for the heater core, vac pipe connectors., HT lead holders. Oh and Lucas break in oil. Oh and reset the clutch a si had to remove all that mechanism to get the D/S header fitted.

There are a few thing i think are soiling the engine b ay, one being the brake servo. It needs removing and painted an a new chrome reservoir lid. Ill tidy the wires up when i know its running well. These can be tinker time jobs once running.

sooo close yet sooo far.
