Jyttah is an unknown quantity at this point
My friend also did a lot of work welding the sills on the car. It took a bit longer than expected, but ended up pretty great. Im happy with the result. Even though its gonna be hidden by the bodykit.












And the finished result.


After i took the pictures, i gave it a quick layer of epoxy primer on the ourside, and some penetrating cavity wax in the sills and everywhere there was bare metal to make sure it doesnt rust again.



I also went crazy on the head. I have no experience in doing this, so i just went for it.
I changed the following:
Front seals on the camshafts
refurbished valves and lapped them
refurbished lifters
new valve seals
new Continental timing belt






I also did a quick leaktest with some soapy water, and after an hour everything that should be dry was still dry. So great success!



I also did a quick trip to a friend to look at a few cars



Engine is coming together. And hopeful for the last time!





This is it for now. But hopefully the engine is back in the car next week, and with all interior installed again.
And then its on to making the fiberglass fit
