The 5.3L V12 engine    part4

The restore -rebuild of the engine continue....part of the wiring loom fitted on the engine,needed some attention.
First of all remove the old insulation tape,give it a good clean and wipe,and use a fabric tape to re-banding it.
The engine was bolted to a rotating engine stand,but the time is here now to remove it from there.
​The auto gearbox wont go back on the engine,a manual gearbox will be fitted. Getrag 265 manual box ,clutch kit and a conversion ring  have to be bolted on before the engine goes back to the car. I want to make sure everything is fine.
​To mate up the engine and the gbox I had to fabricate a suitable stand .
Before the gearbox goes on, all ancillaries have to be fitted,like water pump,PS pump,alternator,pulleys...etc
Continue soon...

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Laszlo has performed the most amazing bare metal nuts and bolts restoration on my Jaguar XJS Lister. His talented ability to refabricate from scratch, metal panels that are no longer available has kept the project moving and at a very reasonable cost. It is rare to find a restorer who can weld, fabricate and also strip refurbish the engine and all of the mechanicals on the car."

"Top of the range work, can turn his hand to anything and everything is 110% perfect. - Mark Freudeneau, Cheshire UK'

"Laszlo did a great job on my Morris 1000, gave a reasonable quote, then booked in for some excellent fabrication work on basically a whole front end and door posts of my Morris and numerous other welding repairs at workshop - the car now rescued, looks original again. Looking at his other excellent work and projects, like the Jag and Issetta, my Morris was a walk in the park! If you need a restoration job doing then look no further than The Classic Mechanic - D. Haycock UK"
