slartibartfast is on a distinguished road

I have been working on the Sammio .... honestly ... Mainly painting up and cleaning bolts & things whilst the head is being sorted .... I think I will give the guy a call tomorrow ... he's had it for over 4 weeks. Once that's back I can fully rebuild the engine & gearbox & put it back in the chasis. I'll replace the clutch plate & release bearing whilst it's all stripped down.
The bulkhead is prepped, just wondering what colour to spray up inside. Black or silver? I'm going for a maroon type red for the main colour.
Today I've been doing a few little jobs on the Morris Minor & Rover P5b. Still can't get the Rover to run properly .... it stalls when hot and then it'll start but just won't pull when put in gear ... just stalls again. Hey ho !
Some pictures attached. Hope to make some serious progress soon.

This is the bulkhead getting prepped


A good rub down and a couple of coats of Hammerit plus another couple of coats of underseal.

And 3 or 4 coats of etch primmer inside.

Big ends all back in place and torqued up as per the manual. Seems like the oil pump had been replaced so I didn't strip that doen.
More soon.
