Bulkhead freed from chassis and ready to go to panel shop. I have a engine reconditioner just up the road who will strip and check the engine and a panel beater who will do the painting.

you are quite lucky you have people nearby who can do the work. I am still looking for someone to do my engine 2 years later. anyway i am looking forward to seeing your project come together.

How did the parts go in the mollassis, It does a good job but you need to be abit patient for the real bad bits.

Bonnet looks good, I know where there is another one to do now your in practise.

Keep plodding, dont rush and enjoy the build, it is addictive though.

Mollassis is the best stuff since sliced bread. because I work away when i come back the work is done. All the bolts came up like new and the little curved panel above the gearbox on the bulkhead came out shiny. I am tempted to build a big dip pond and stick the whole chassis in. I line dams for a living so its an easy task and I could pass it on to others when I am finished . dipping the whole chassis would get rid of rust on the inside of the box as well.
thinking about getting all the bolts nuts nickel plated. I spoke with Ferace auto rust this morning and will drop the bulkhead over to get repaired when I get back from work in a couple of weeks. Didnt get the engine out will buy a crane from Supa cheap first. Having fun and its moving along but wish I could do something every day working away is holding things up a bit.
