Good video guys keep up the hard work it's getting there

Excellent video. It's hard to belive how bad it was 3 years ago

[@slothgarage]

Definitely an improvement

Haha can’t beat a good block of wood 😂! I’ve got the clutch to do on mine, got the engine nearly ready to remove to do it, I’ve got the rocker gaskets to do and want to do the front subframe etc hence easy to just remove the motor so I don’t have to bench press the gearbox 😂.

I knew it wasn’t space keeping blocks of wood 😂 yeah a lot of folk seem to opt for removing the motor instead and I can see why now lol. Thankfully, it wasn’t too difficult to pull gearbox back out and get that last flywheel bolt in, so onto the next job now!

Ha I bet you couldn’t believe it when you noticed that bolt missing , think I’d have had to go drink many beers 😂. I had a sulk the other day as I’ve found some corrosion in the rear arches where the sill is, so have to dig my welder out and repair that now ffs 🤦. How’s your welding coming along, are you winning?

[@slothgarage]

No I couldn’t believe, but it’s a good job because I found a random bolt in the gearbox that must have fell in from when we was shaking the box into place. It would have no doubt took the whole block and box out lol. I know the feeling, I keep finding little rust patches all over, I’m just trying not to get carried away again. The left sill is about done now so I’ll show that in the next video. It’s much better than the first attempt I must admit, so after a bit of cleaning up, it’s on to the arches. Had to replace the gas bottle though, so my pocket has taken a bit of a hit this month.
