Put new engine in! A 4h work after work!
Mate, you were on the money and I wish I saw this! I'd say this is what sandblasting looks like after around 500ks of sand driving. Gave it a good squirt underneath tonight and then I be resealing and oiling before the weekend. I'd be interested to know how the y62, ranger and others fared that did the mouth.

Revered the polarity when putting the new battery in, here we go kids
Greased U-joints and driveshaft sleeve on both driveshafts of the GU. Man, what a difference it makes! The sleeves were literally dry. It reduced the driving noise so much that it's hard to believe nothing else was done to the car.
Finally got around to replacing my front rotors & pads, my brakes actually work now :)
Yesterday and today:
Changed Oil and Filters, easy bit.
Also replaced the Serpentine Belt, Radiator Hoses and Coolant, bit more involved. All done with minimal cursing.
Thought it was about time as I've had the belt and hoses since the Cape Trip nearly 10 years ago. All still in good nick so go into the spares box.
Tomorrow a good wash top and bottom, including the chassis and hard to get to bits. Leave it outside and once completly dry I'll give it a good dose of fish oil.
Realised I have 50 litres of used oil in containers so a trip to the transfer station as well, need the containres to fill with the old coolant and flushing water.
Finally commenced the Tesla/Lithium-Cobalt 2 year old (second hand) Battery conversion on a GU Wagoon today…….front drivetrain fully removed and it’s forward rocket [emoji573] tubes appear to be working well [emoji322]
