HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Colin and Myself started the strip down and cleaning over the hols ,not for the faint hearted , it was the worst job i ever took on but also the best as the engine had serious amounts of sand in it , the head gasket and big end bearing where damaged but a quick email to Atul and i had a new gasket set and main bearing within 4 days  with no cost (Great Service)

The acid tank was a great job, thanks for the advice guys, now waiting on my gypstal to arrive to start rebuilt , i changed the colour slightly from green and red and black and yellow and of course lilac to Cadbury purple and silver  i will get Colin to upload some photos soon thank jk
