Off to the machine shop!

Head, block, crank, rods, pistons etc etc were dropped at the machine shop this morning. With a bit of luck I'll have them back at the weekend.

I'd called around a fair bit and the same names kept coming up, so I've gone with Phillip Heads in Canberra for the machining work.

Some of the Google reviews for the "big" shops are scary... much happier to have a small, recommended indie on the job, even if they charge a bit more, and after speaking to Dave at Phillip Heads I felt confident giving them the work.

Waiting on some last parts to ship from eEuro – subframe bushes and bump stops for both front and rear. The original bump stops were completely destroyed, front right and rear left had gone to powder.

Maptun came good and allowed me to keep the oil filters and the rear arm powerflex bush, so that's worked out ok – I will be using that bushing!
