Johns cerbera rebuild and upgrade
Discussion
another good day i had forgotten what a plumbing nightmare the cooling system is but all out exhaust off, arbs off, rad out, aircon heat exchanger out, supprising how blocked the matrix is considering only 30000 miles, all the engine loom is disconnected and the gearbox and engine mounts undone, all the fluids drained just the remote oil filter to remove support the engine remove the engine mount brackets and out she comes.

How does the chassis look?
Still think it is a massive shame your talents aren't being applied to the AJP but I will be admiring your work from across the internet.
We do actually plan to make the AJP engine really nice - it just won't be going back into this particular car. Still think it is a massive shame your talents aren't being applied to the AJP but I will be admiring your work from across the internet.
chassis is in remarkably good condition at least on first inspection, got all the interior stowed away in the store room, just as an aside if anyone is interested in the interior it all has to go as will not be being used it is all in good condition, but then got the body mounted on its new cradle and the chassis up on stands to start the complete strip out.
