I’m now thinking putting a rebuilt engine in an old Land Rover is a much bigger challenge than a heart-lung transplant. Couple of brief updates from Philippe:

“Have some more trimming to do on the frame; clutch slave rubbing when engine running; finishing fan and cable; replaced battery cable and clamps (the existing ones were not good.)”

“Got stuck on the ignition switch. Couldn’t get the on-off for the fuel cut-out but finally figured out to install a switch just where the stop-run cable was.”

Watch this space.
