Looking good Kev !,  Your having fun Huh, howd you go with the engine bay tidy up .

Weather permitting, next Saturday (27th) we paint the engine bay mate.

I am having fun ya know. When it first went pear shaped, I had the S H 1 T's really bad, but its been a blessing in disguise really.
I didn't realize how much I missed doing this stuff until I got back into it.

The ol knees and back, take a flogging, but still worth it.

It's a fair bit of money for a couple of bits of glass a steering wheel and a few lights.

no blood on the driver's seat, wonder if anyone was in the vehicle at the time?
Looks to me that something like a truck ploughed into the back of it, and punched it into something in front.

Big week-end on the Caddy.
I'd thrown together a timber cradle to try and save some dismantling of the air cond, cruise control and power steering, but it did make the room to move about in there a bit tight...... the photo's tell the rest of the story.





















The bonnet now has the insulation infills done and everything came up pretty good. Bit hard to get good pics of the work, but it will look 10 x better once the engine is in again.

How cool does this look.....  :cup: Big thumbs up for Shane, he's a true craftsman.
The painted cover is on an unpainted engine, because he dial gauged number 1 to confirm TDC on the balancer against the timing marks.
