I left off the last instalment with a head on the block, but no oil pump, so I couldn’t finish the assembly.

With the rods all balanced and ready to fit, it was time to begin further assembling the engine.
I haven’t posted much recently, but things have been happening in the background, namely a slow but steady engine rebuild.
Since I’m still waiting on the block to return from machining (again), I moved on to fixing some other small issues.
Not to forget the rear of the car, I moved on to replacing the shocks there, too.
Moving on from the bodywork and engine for a bit, I thought I would have my first look at the brakes.
The big rebuild has kicked off, but it’s the kind of kicking that also includes screaming.
In my last update, I pulled the seats out, carpet up and fixed the rust in the floor/interior. Now it was time to put the carpet down, reinstall the seats and work on the rear rust.
Since the engine was in limbo, waiting on parts and machine work, I started to hunt to find all the rust and fix it.
So, I’ve had the car just over a week now, and it’s been a busy old time.
