Fitted the exhaust manifolds tonight and apart from sourcing the Breathers and a Bypass Hose I think the engine is finished.
Still have to route oil and fuel lines but I'll leave that till I'm ready to try firing it up. Going have a look at cleaning up the transmission next.

Last night I decided to take a look at the transmission, took me an hour and a half to strip it down. Maybe there was no need to fully strip but after doing what we have to it so far it feels like the right thing to do.
Although when last on the road it drove fine it did have a fluid leak and would slip when the level dropped, so after mopping the spillages from yesterday and a bench tidy the Clutch baskets were stripped for a look.

I'm just hoping for reliability Dave, once done I'd like to enjoy the drive without too many teething problems.

PS its a 904 Dave :)

Good move, that's all you really need to do to freshen it up.
