Sump is a little dented so that to sort, left it draining till the next episode as very gel like oil. next is sorting the dented sump and a big clean up, put in new seals, paint and put back together. Then start on the head and gearbox, but not for awhile as my hands and right arm are suffering badly. I can't do 2 days working on cars now without a lot of painLast edited by Jeff Turbo; 6th May 2017, 18:24.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car
