Getting Ready

So its nearly time to collect the Zero kit.  Van is hired and I'll be shooting down the M74 this Tuesday the 21st to make some last minute choices and bring the project home.
I've been stripping down the FIAT 1995cc Twin Cam engine which I acquired from a chap in Kincardine earlier this year. This was apparently from a FIAT Argenta, so is one of the later variants of this brilliant engine. One which has won (in one form or another) way more world rally championships than any other and, having had a 1585cc version some years ago, I know how good these power units are.
Hope to have the majority of the engine cleaned and painted (where necessary) prior to Tuesday, leaving just the ancillary stuff to buff up and re-fit.
See pics showing the engine when bought and clean-up progress....Halfords engine paint and some thinners being the main ingredients here.

More to follow soon!
