Cleaned the valves so that I could measure them for buying knew ones. Checked with people that could have some and asked for prices. The same work was with the pistons.
Asked for incurrence papers to fill in from MHS.
The man that had electrical parts phoned and I bought distributor, ignition and condensator .
Visited the firm that would undertake the milling and factory work with the engine and we decided. That I shold come back when I had fixed the exta big hole in the block so that it was correct.
The engine was stripped and cleaned all the bolts and things without two pins and the camshafts bushing and shipped out to the man that fix the hole. The plates outside the vents was cleaned ready for sandblasting so it is with oil pan tray also. The cylinder head is ready for to be cleaned also.
All the wood parts was taken away and I took it for sandblasting when it was done and I primed all the body, fenders (all three!) and roof sides the doors would be done later when I have mounted in the right places. See photo.
All the things were carried away so that I could begin to fix the body in place for welding in the rear and in the front.
