It's in !!!!!!

[our bus 68]

I'm well chuffed. After having no engine in for nearly 18 months, it's in.

I don't know if this was any good, but managed to get it fitted on my own in about 1 hour 40 mins. With two trolley jacks, few blocks of wood and a skateboard!!! :shock:

Hopefully will have it finished off over the weekend, looking forward to hearing it start for the first time

Might even get to drive her before the end of summer 8)

Transported to the van via skateboard!!

An engine in the engine bay at last!!!

Is that Pastel White ?

Looks a good job fella, impressive stuff if you did it on your own.

Thanks, yes did it on my own and still have all my knuckles! :lol:

The colour is lotus white. Put it back to this colour after years of it being blue, yellow and multicoloured from previous owners. My aim is to get it back to looking as original as possible.

I used a skate board to move mine out of the van - yet another use for those cool wheels..
