had some fun during the build process, getting my fat arse stuck in the footwell when doing the wiring here

interior back in

back seats still look new

even the drivers seat is in great nick for its age

coming along nicely

right this is the 1st pic after i discovered water dripping from the back of the head. bare in mind id only driven less than 2 miles to the mot station and back. see all the rad weld shit on the gasket, this was the first sign something wasnt right

this is what came out of the hole in the head! literally was like pushing through a layer of tin foil

nasty stuff

some of the heads contents i raked out with a screwdriver

how wide it went before id seen enough

old gaskets put back on by engine builder, you can tell the head was never cleaned out just from the state of the exhaust outlets. also, see the welds underneath them if you zoom in. so yeah, one scrap head. luckily i found another one as mentioned above. head porn incoming....
