That does look like a 100% bastard of a job mate
Yep I hated every minute of it. Got quite good at sharpening drill bits though. And drilling through welds is a bitch. That metal is bloody hard!
Bearing kit arrived today. Big box full of many little boxes. Was like Christmas.
Was keen to put a couple in...

Back of the engine without seal. Welsh plugs look in excellent shape.

The old spigot bearing. Was making an awful hum when clutch was depressed. Was not the release bearing!
Used a 16mm bolt, a 4pound hammer and bread to remove. Worked bloody well.

Should add, I asked a couple of mates if they wanted to give me a hand. All of a sudden, everyone is busy. Doing this solo.

How the hell do you solo a gearbox out and back in? Those bastards are heavy!
Lookin good.
Hopes and dreams and lots of swearing.
Awesome job Parksy, what is the paint you have used on the gearbox mate? POR15 or just a gloss black?
Looking forward to seeing your roof lining.
