I also picked up a new engine (the one the wraps round the tin wear) seal and 70 amp battery but forgot an exhaust gasket set so another trip to GSF tomorrow, i have push rod tubes and sealant. Rich B is popping over Wednesday so were gonna get the engine back together serviced, in and running ............. fingers crossed :D

I have a hole in my battery tray but don't want to fuck up, my lovely solid corners or paint :? do I weld in patch's or leave them ?

Nice work fella, i too have a hole in my battery tray that i need to weld up, currently fixed by putting a Datsun mudflap under the battery.

Ford or Toyota mud flaps wont work, only Datsun!

Well the big news is it's been running today, with big help from Rich B. new push rod tubes, new points, condenser etc, new battery. A good cleaned up and put back together, fitted and fresh oil in, bypassed the broke barrel and after a few hick ups it fired up, I was please the engine had no major problems and the clutch and gearbox work. I think the choke kept sticking on and over revving, it cough and would tick over without a tickle on the throttle, so an hour or 2 of fine tuning and it's will be there :) it was good to get it off the axle stands, I forgot how low it was, even dragged it's self back into the garage ..... Back firing and spluttering

ITS ALIVE!
