air con pump, starter motor, alternator, pas pump all painted up silver today. nissens aluminium rad fitter, fans fitted, engine loom brackets fitted, lifting eye fitted.
waiting for the orange paint now to spray the inlet manifold and cam covers so can put some fluids in and start the engine up to check things run.
