Great to see an update as I was wondering how it was going. Sorry to see you're having overheating issues but it takes me back to when my brother destroyed the marina engine and I bought a barn find engine which we had to strip, clean out the valves and redo all the gaskets. I'm still amazed to this day it worked...apart from the alternator which was forever coming loose. Good luck!

Thank you Neil for your constant support! 😊 Actually it took a looong time to edit the video, but in the meantime we can say that we are further ahead with all the repairs (you'll see 😉)! This was unexpected from the Drebin (we would have bet on the Garpez...), but we still learnt a lot (as I bet was your case with the barn find) and that is a reward by itself 💪🏻 Hopefully the next video will take less to come out - we'll do our best! 📽️ Thank you for the patience! 🙂
