body now off all the chassis stripped ready for repair and engine part way stripped headgasket has gone largly because someone has fitted a standard 3.5 gasket to the nck engine which has much larger bores but no damaged seems to have been done.

chassis is away for shotblasting to see what we really have in the way of corrosion and the heads and crank are at my machinists for pressure testing and if needed a light skim and a grind as all the journals are badly scoured as all the load side shells are through to the copper backs.
