I have slowed up a little on the disassembly of Dame Judi but today the engine came out. It was a little anti-climatic as I rented the engine hoist at 8:55 this morning and returned it at 11:00 Job done no horror stories. Now I had the engine all disconnected and it was really only sitting on the engine mounts so I wasn’t really expecting there to be any problems. The biggest issue was the huge engine hoist I rented was to wide to fit under the front of the car, but easily solved by coming in from the side.
It’s about time I started to think about putting things back together. I really need to start that process since there isn’t much left for me to take off the car. I am still working on learning to weld, thinking I need to get a different welder. One of what will probably be several mistakes I have made is buying the wrong welder. I think with a gas MIG welder I will do a better job.
Still battling the how much do I “enhance” the car. I want it to be safe and reliable, but I also want to hold true to the brand. I also have some ideas that I think are unique and will make a big difference. I guess that kind of answers the question, the car will not be concourse stock, but I will be nice and something I can be proud to take to some shows. Now just to get busy with the body work and the restoration of all the parts.
