    1959 SWB Basic "Madge" repower with early 2.25l

    well that was easier to extract than i thought it was going to be!

    hit it with some penetrating oil for a few days

    then this afternoon i dropped the drivers side guard, the battery stand and loosened off the radiator support panel to access the thing

    undid the bottom bolts, undid the top bolts and used a nail removal bar to lift it out far enough to let me drag it out by hand

    three hours and it's out....

    i was expecting to be in full hate mode for a week, after some of the stories i have read on here over the years 1959 SWB Basic "Madge" repower with early 2.25l

    life is good! (so far)

    well all i need now is the new steering relay...

    went through and reset the tappet clearances, changed the spark plugs and did a little tiding up

    topped the steering box with a 50/50 mix of grease and sae 90 and cleaned all i need to get cleaned before the next phase....

    Well today is a sad day

    there is a hole in my shed and a bigger one in my heart.

    Madge has gone to a new home.

    the only consolation being i know the new owner will look after her better than i can these days....

    i need a beer or something stronger i think...
