Managed to get the engine to turn over today :D but not run sadly due to carb dieing ;) Sorted out the shims below the pushrods and the rockershaft which i torqued down aswell as torquing the head down and attatching the manifolds, carb (which is dead :o ) and fuel pump, jump started it and tried to fire first time with a few puffs of smoke and just gave up :o
anyhow started on the floor pans and inner sills aswell, next time i go to the workshop i will put some pics on flickr :thumbsup:

Get yourself a photobucket, a proper load of pics, and do a proper write up.

That way, you'll get more replies, more views, and all that jazz :thumbsup:.

The only people i know that use Flickr are people who use it for their photography, to be honest i feel photobucket is better for this kind of thing.
