i can cope with that, but not till november, i do mobile engine painting for cummins, the only thing is how rusty is it or does it just need a tidy.
i kurust all the joints where rust creeps in, prime and 2 pack, the paint will discolour on the turbo but it wont come off

All sounds like interesting work though, need a hand?
All I seem to do these days is structural steelwork, getting boring

Back in the boat

The engines look even better now they are back in the boat. Plumbed in, the build continues.
