Some moons ago good buddy Paul and I built Amy (as she became affectionately known) and much fun was had, and all was well
And then all became not as well, following an overheaty incident towing a heavy rig up a long hill in the height of summer
We did the head gaskets twice then put the block in for a suspected slipped liner to be fixed only to get the call of doom - blockus crackedicus beyond repairicus...
So we dug out (sadly only too literally - no comment!) the original donk, which while it'd been seized hadn't run since 1974-ish, so with a bit of freeing off might go again
So with hearts full of hope Paul whipped the heads off in the week. Ah. Right. Never seen anything like it...
We'll be back shortly having prodded & poked further
Cheers
Matt
