I don’t know why the designers thought mounting the oil filter sideways was a good idea. I much prefer the later style mounted on the engine vertically.

Yes I do have a spare engine. It’s a RCEME rebuilt/crated engine with the Cnd double pulleys. Same setup as used in the Otter. Came from a fellow in New Brunswick.

The vehicle is getting lighter for sure. The shop vac is getting heavier though.

Did a little bit of work tonight pulling some more parts. The front floor panels are now all removed. I’ve also removed the brake/clutch pedal assembly, the handbrake lever assembly and the transfer case lever. All will be their own restoration projects.
