The year 2004 began with plastic filling the surface at rear doors. Then proceed with an layer of primer. The next step was too go further and do the same work at the rear fenders and the left front fender. That work was finished with a layer of primer.
The most exiting moment this month was when I went to the shop to collect the engine. The work that had been done is drilling the cylinders to 0.030 oversize pistons, new wrist pin bushings in the connecting rods, new valve guides for the valves that has been machined, new seats is machined to all valves both out and intake, one new cylinder sleeve to number seven cylinder and at last the hole block was machined to level . When examine the top I found out that the was an crack by the thermostat house and it was sent away to a shop to be welded and level it all to fit the engine.
After the engine come into the garage I cleaned all the threads. When that was finished I cleaned the hole engine and laid oil to all surfaces to protect it .All small items is cleaned and put in a pot of diesel
I has also began to measurer to the instrument panel and found out that was a possibility to use new instruments that would rebuild to fit in proper. BUT it would be nicer to have similar to the original.
