Spanner monkey
Looking nice, very nice, one thing to check though, in the pics, the oil return looks like it goes slightly uphill just as it goes into the block!
Oh, and have you thought of a saf cos rear spoiler? i think it'd look cool!!

I cracked on with underneath and had to buy another grinder for buffing underneath with the wire wheel!! thats my 3rd grinder ive bought lol.
After everything was basically down to the bare metal i realised that there was quite a few hidden rust spots in the rear inner arches where the seams join nothing major but im gonna go the full hog and replace the inner and outer arches at the rear and cut out all visible rot
any advice from peeps who have done this repairs before would be a great help cheers
