Re: John's 1935 1201 Coupe for Two or Four Passengers, RHD in Tasmania

Today I:
1 Mixed the acetone and ATF and distributed it into the cylinders. I will let it percolate while I organise a few other preliminaries to a restart attempt.
2 Removed the valve covers for a look. No sludge or obvious corrosion or problems to my untrained eye. Pictures attached; do these look normal?
3 The valve cover gaskets are fragile and crumbly, but I refitted them. Should I prioritise replacing them or worry about it later?
4 I cleared some more junk to finally allow a frontal picture. Unfortunately it clearly shows the poor condition of the bumper and radiator shell, and louvres, and the ill fitting sealed beams. All will be addressed in time.
More soon. Cheers for now, John
