Nellie's transplant begins

[Bernard]

Well all was going ok....all parts off the rear chassis, new small fuel tank to accept the Alfa submersible pump designed and drawings taken to fabricator, lots of consumable parts ordered and delivered.

today started to fit the new exhaust / head gaskets.... Tightening the bolts and then the last one sheared in the head !!....I think I said bugger at the time.....managed to drill it out but ended up tapping the M8 hole out to M10 then making an adaptor stud M8 to M10...... Adrian Newey would be proud !...not..... But it worked
