My word, I hope that's not the same one! Something rather cool about it though. I'd lacquer that & make something arty from it. Yours?

Its on the beach down here at Devils point, its where the Tamar meets the Sound. Very deep and troubled water whirlpools and fast currents. Many use V6 ford blocks for mooring buoys, this one got away! Got rumbled around for a few years and thrown up on the beach.

Rescue it & add some copper arty bits to it. No idea what, but something. Then flog it for a fortune in an art gallery.

Steve I agree with Andy, a coffee table from that would be totally unique and fetch a fortune.

Had some bad news, very bad news, my mate had serious issues with his Jago jeep. So to help him out this summer I loaned him the V8 engine. Coming up from some show on Sunday in deepest, darkest Cornwall. The engine gave up ! I haven't seen it yet but according to him its terminal, catastrophic, dead  The recovery truck is delivering it back tomorrow. Seems the first he knew was a screech and a oil pressure light came on. |

Oh well, look on the bright side - you can make that arty creation from it if it's totalled!

If it was freshly rebuilt its probably spun a main bearing - scrap then. Cheerful **gger, me.

rebuild 2 ?? or maybe more, Finally looks like an engine again. Waiting on favours to be done does take a time, but freebies are freebies fingers get cold quick handling this cold metal as well. Slows it all down a tad. |
