Well, we have started to strip down our Mighty Boy after returning from our 10 day cruise on the P&O Pacific Pearl.
Here are the pre start photo's

No doubt you'll find plenty of blockages and corrosion in a 25+ year old engine. The joys of old cars!

It is sad to see the neglect some of these utes have suffered over the years. Seems like some utes have had owners who were ignorant of proper maintenance, or had no respect. One time a bloke left his MB with me to sort out an overheating problem. I flushed almost 2 kilos of mud and rust out of the cooling system.

Well, got the Engine paint today.
Going with a Black sump and timing gear cover and the block a Fire Engine Red (for speed only, red goes faster.)
have got nearly everything out of the engine bay, only the brake system to go, and have given the engine bay a good de-grease and it looks not to bad.
Have found some small rust patches under the front fenders so will be looking to cut them out soon as we get closer to starting the body.

Ty and Jordy
