Diederick's '67

Alright, the moment is there... After stalling until the First Vollgas Meeting of last Saturday, I've started taking apart my 67.
The 1300 s/p engine is out and will receive some 85.5 pistons and barrels, higher compression and some kadrons on single port manifolds.
And after 1 1/2 year of having had the idea and the fenders a bit shorter it's finally time for some US spec fenders, i've seen lots going the same direction (which really aggrevated me
) So yesterday i took my bug apart and trial fitted the bonnet and 1 fender, the bonnet doesn't have a very good fit yet, but i'm hoping to able to adjust that. Also the fenders look pretty nice already, what do the experts reckon?
The wheels come out nicely as well
And the tape is to indicate where the Talbot 333 mirror will go.
And i also have a very sweet right door to replace my own.
Engine's out too:
Can't wait! I'll bring to my painter this Thursday, need my dad to drive it there, hence the delay.
In the meantime I'll focus on the engine, and I hope that will turn out nicely too.
It'll be one sweet summer, though I'll have to hurry to finish all in time

Thanks guys!
Today was the long awaited trip, finally took her away
Tried to tow the 67 up backwards, but because the current camber of the rear wheels (no engine) the track width was too narrow for the trailer, hence we turned it by hand;
Forgot to take a pic of the drop off though...
And i had to go through a stage of watching someone try out my bodywork with a screwdriver
I have discussed many things and decided to also weld up the antenna, next to the talbot mirror as i think it will look a lot cleaner.
I'm not too sure about welding up the indicators yet though...
or
(sorry for nicking the pics)
I don't know... I'm sure many will say shave it, but i don't really really care
Well, it will all turn out nicely i believe. I'll focus on the engine then, though that won't be within the first 10 days...

Great, just lost my entire post here
And i don't know remember what i wrote...
So, the engine is coming apart but i have a few questions:
I found some oil in 2 cylinders on the same side of the engine, i suppose this is because of the pistons rings being worn.
And as i am going to use another set of 1600 p&c, what type of rings should i use? 2.0x2.0x4.0 or 2.0x2.0x5.0 oversize rings? The cylinders are not scratched so no need to hone them i'd say. Plus this is only a BUDGET fix-up.
Also, my heads are not cracked and seem ok. But i noticed one sparkplug was only in halfway, how could i have noticed this?
But judging from the pics should i have the exhaust valves replaced? And what else? P&p? And how do i get those darn heater boxes off? They're totally stuck
Lastly, does anyone know how i can clean my case? I'm not splitting it but i do want it to look a bit cleaner...

Here is what it looks like for real. Daniel did the work a couple years ago, but we haven't gotten around to painting the car again.

Ok, perhaps it's my muffler that makes the back end look weird?
And what about the engine questions?

I like the filled apron.
AS for the engine questions, all I am really good for is cleaning...
Get a couple cheap toothbrushes, some dish soap, degreaser, and whatever other aggressive cleaner you can find, and get busy! If there is a lot of thick goo, an old paintbrush and some kerosene will loosen it up.

Thanks Mike! I started off with a toothbrush, but it was "full" after 2 minutes already
And Sander, goed gezien! But this 1300 s/p will become a 1600 s/p
With some kadrons et al. Mike, did you use a balance tube? Or can i just wire the manifolds up with a fuel line?

Stiff plastic brush (like the black ones they give with alloy wheel cleaning products) + trichlo (or any other strong degreaser) + finish with a metallic brush.
Wear gloves...
