Marmite is home

Yep Marmite is back home. The new towing eye worked nicely, although the tow trucks hook was a little big for the cars eye, cant win them all. The new wider garage doors made it quite easy to get in. A nice win.
Over the last week I had been trying to get the bell housing freed up and cleaned up, I ended up taking it to a friends where we heated up the clevis pins to remove them and then the clutch plunger the same way.

The rock solid plunger was why the engine was inspected, which we know didnt go to well. So it was nice to free that up ..... for another friend noticed the odd casting mark inside I had stared at a lot, but he saw a crack on the outside in the same place!! Yep scrap, so I dug out the spare ;) and had to heat the pins on that one to strip it. I won in the end.

Just have to wait till I do the next spending spree for roof lining and engine parts. Can't wait but also a bit of nervous anticipation  holding me back is going on.
Time for another big push, but hoping the rest of the family see the progress on this round..... as long as the daily motor holds out, poor thing is in need of some tlc and may need some of my time/money !
