    where did you get it done?
    How long did it take for the motor to get done?
    What was actually needed to be done for the rebuild?
    how is the rest of the project going?

    not too much, bearings seals cylinder bores were honed pistons are all okay, valve seats hardened new valves spings and all that stuff,
    local bloke in lismore did it not too sure of the exact name of the shop
    hes had the motor for almost 2 and a half years

    its a 55 107 ute back, will be destined for parts, ill keep what i want and sell the bits i dont want, chassis is very far gone, motor seized but ancillaries should be good enough for rebuilding
