Back up in garage loft today and found 3 blower belts a RV8/BW35 bellhousing, the van windows/rubbers, dash bits and steering column. Decided to strip oil pump for a clean out, ordered new gaskets and did some minor mods to the distributer. Ordered a new blower belt as the other ones might be a bit 'iffy' after lying around for so long.

Decided to strip down oil pump and give it a bit of a polish and clean out. Polished some stainless allen bolts for the pump and headers tonight. New blower belt arrived the other day so I might fit the pump, dizzie and belt tomorrow. Probably take some pics as well(camera battery was flat).

Decided to make a stainless spreader bar for the back of the sump last night. Gave it a bit of a polish this morning.

Just sourced a massive lump of 5mm plate for a welding bench to start fabricating the front suspension.
