righto, update.

Paul came round this arvo to have a squiz at the engine. have established that the valves are bent, so im buying lots of stuff tomorrow and paul's going to take the engine to his workshop to get it ready to drop in.

other than that everything is looking good.

Started already but with Christmas and New Years holidays makes it hard, as the Cylinder Head Shop are closed

Jay brought all the stuff before he left except the valves (as unknown how many are need yet) so hopefully they are available local???

Thanks for the update on your Dad... Great to hear he's on the mend

And speaking of on the mend... I just sent you some pics of the B4 valves. I was going to leave it to you to post up

vidler · Post by **vidler** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 11:46 pm

cut some brackets off the crossmember that was in the car when it was crashed and welded those onto another crossmember (original was out of square), got the control arms/struts/sway bar in today as well, putting the box/tailshaft and part of the exhaust in tomorrow, then its ready for the engine.

every single valve was bent by the way... engine's an estimated 5 weeks away and its gonne be sweet when i can take it for a spin:)

Engine 99% done... still waiting for those bits you brought? Did they give you any idea of how long they would be?

BTW... yes and all the old valves will make nice paper weights
