Don't let them get you down, good on you to crack on with your car and I'm sure it will come out looking even better, especially with a nice detailed engine bay :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

Good to see things going forward Derek, the Charger will be even better after this. Watch that back though, I am sure wrestling with Torqflites and engine blocks is what did mine in!

Well done Del, glad all is coming good. Still can make no sence of the situation but as the lads say something good at least has come of it. Look forward to catching up soon. Say hi to Liz for me !

Did a bit more over the weekend, as I have never done cam timing before Anton came over to show me how, and ended up doing it. (Thanks mate) Anton also took the heads home to do a little bit of work on them and spent 7 hours in his garage, I think he only stopped as he had to go to Hospital after getting something in his eye, he's OK now though, so I think he can get back in the garage and finish them ;) I have painted the engine but don't like the colour so will have to do it again, Here's a few more pics.

Now that my hand is a lot better, and my space heater is working again, I've been in the garage and got the engine all back together ready for when the Charger comes back. I've also cleaned and painted all the bits and pieces, All pretty straight forward stuff, the pics tell the story.
