Chris, you got the prize. It is so simple when you think about it. I just had to do that first. You can have a drive, not just a ride.

Geez Colin... that looks brilliant, an amazing bit of engineering.

Now why don't you try something hard, like changing the water pump on a Austin Champ without swearing or getting a 14 year old girl to clean her room...

Thanks Wayne, I'm pretty happy with it.
A couple of other parts I have made and a picture of one of the steering clutches which is in very good condition. I also took a few parts of the engine and again in very good condition.

It's incredible that all the bots that hold the inlet manifold on came straight off and so did the exhaust nuts as well, although they were brass. The starter bolts came off and the water jackets that were almost gone just about undone also. I think they used some copper grease perhaps. Anyway it's ready to go and get rebuilt. The sump is in great condition so I am really hoping that the internal components will be also. The engine rebuilder wants to disassemble the engine himself so he can inspect and familiarize all the parts and the timing aspect as well. I will be looking forward to getting it back as I'll have the trans all ready to couple together.

I think you need to get a hobby to occupy your spare time!

Colin, Can you put up a picture of the oil filler cap as it has some relevance to the riveted carrier guys?
