Polishing a Toad - Part 2

Once the required plating was done on the hull of Toad, a couple of coats of blacking and it is looking better

 Next, the engine was removed and stripped down. The oil drained was a 50:50 mixture of oil and water, which won't have helped, however there were no major problems found


The block was given a coat of engine enamel and was re-assembled with new shells on the Crankshaft
All of the valves were ok, so they were reground into the head with new guides fitted.

Meanwhile Ian has cleaned up the shell and Toad is now looking better in primer.
