Quick update,
So I have a little son now, so a fair amount of my time has been spent with him & helping out where I could at home over the last couple of months. But I still managed to get some work done & I finally feel like I'm over the hump of putting everything back together again.
The only real unknown for me right now is the pedal box, but I know a few people that know some shit about brakes.
I prepped the engine bay & got a mates mate who knew another bloke from the Kebab shop to paint it for me. It turned out ok I think, so long as you are wearing a decent pair of sunnies when you open the bonnet.
So just to keep track,
Painting of the engine bay
Motor in
Dry sump kit is pretty much installed - Image looks like the hoses are hitting the headers from the sump area. They are in the pic, only because they were not connected to the pump. There is actually heaps of clearance.
So, there are still a few more things to get done, but, as I said before, once the brakes are done, it should be smooth sailing.
