Looking really good so far. What do you plan for the chassis once all the welding is done.
I would assume blasting but then what, paint or powdercoat ?
Big fan of 2 pack epoxy paint myself but i am not going to preach my choice, just wondered what yours is going to be.
At the moment hot zinc spray I would assume blasting but then what, paint or powdercoat ?

Then 2pack or coat not sure
A good customer restores Land Rovers and has some fancy top coat he uses normally found in the North Sea
If you do go paint then this link from a while back should be of interest.

.......................... Not 
VSOS ?
What do the shells look like.
Vernier timing gear ?
And who’s A
I doubt you’ll answer that though lol.
I remember back in 1982 an engine rebuilding outfit constantly used old pistons with new rings, didn’t rebore and often just new shells and pump, maybe cam, but basically take it apart, clean it and bang em together again.. then charge for full rebuilds. We had about 3 off them and all blew up or constantly failed. One Vauxhall Viva owner had less power than the knackered engine he gave them in exchange
I just thought the bloke was off his rocker for having a Viva engine rebuilt at all when I was 16.
It’s so easy to charge for stuff internally
Until a savvy person rumbles you and my boss chased that engine builder for years over monies owed
We ordered a cross flow 1300 engine off them then stripped it. Even an old timing chain
It’s funny now when I look back at it and that shark that I never liked from the day I met him!
You wouldn’t think that would still happen in this day and age.

What’s the finger pointing too.
I’m not sure what your showing there?
And why have you left that earth strap on.
That cracks me up for some reason. Your skills include stripping the engine yet won’t take that lead off. Take a pic so you can remember where it goes
Bit of masking tape and label it up, put it in the engine area box of bits
And why do you need Andy boy this weekend. Piss up?
