as i been offered a trailer, mite build a canopy and get exhaust to go straight up through, different i no but its a different engine lol

very very nice, better that what I thought!

Great looking engine mate and the pump goes well with it, bet you had a smile from ear to ear when you finally picked it up. Can't wait to see it all finished.

all day, its a big setup, but i got a long time this year to carry out the restoration, last year i were a little rushed

lovely engine ryan, looks so much more aesthetically balanced than a normal wd, if you ever want to sell it, theres a welcome home up here in the norths fastest growing engine collection/museum

cheers

Paul

as i took so long to get it, and as it was sold in cornwall from new, really want to keep it in the county

one flywheel, which i am struggling to remove, its moved 10mm in day and half, so time consuming, sometimes i wonder why we take on such big projects, lol all fun though

Get yourself some stacking bread crates to put all your bits in
Buy the look off it you need to build yourself a bench

just very limited to room, untill this bloke who bought my trailer comes to get it, on a good note, all nuts and bolts are labeled and bagged, yellow for pump, blue for engine. No pink in site

and went out and bought 2.5ltrs of nitro morus today, that stuff is great, paint is coming off easy so progress is being made, doing engine first and pump after, i have changed my mind on colour , but keeping it to myself till its done, lets say its differant, BUT not pink

how about tango orange???????? or day glo green......ether on would stand out in any engine line up???????????

Looking good my friend!!!

Although whats happening with the flywheel situation?

Can you heat around the crankcrank on the flywheel and try to pull it off

Adam

that nitro stuff works a treat just look at the hopper
