Hi Squiggle, I hope you plan to post some pictures of the repaired block and your progress in getting it back in the car.

Must keep up the record.
If I hadn't been ill yesterday the cavalry [Ray] would have been here to commence proceedings.
Thanks Darrell.

Re: Stitched/skimmed/washed engine block
I have to say - they have done a very good (looking) job on the block. If you didn't know it had a problem, you'd never spot what they did.
Unfortunately due to jobs and illness the block has been sitting idle for a week
Rebuilding should be underway quite soon though

Superb service. Even collected and delivered for free. Stitching work guaranteed for a year.
Were recommended by a local garage owner who collects vintage cars.
Will resize photos and post them.
