I stopped by the upholstery shop to drop parts off and what a treat - To say this upholsterer is a master of his craft and an artist I believe to be quite appropriate

Hi Paul, Thank you, I sincerely appreciate the kind words. I was just informed that the interior is complete and I am excited to get the car back and begin enjoying it!
All the best!

I'm lapping the valves due to a leak down test that showed an issue with the exhaust valves. I just did the first valve and am wondering what the grey area is in the seating surface - I didn't think this needed to be lapped more But wanted to ask first

So instead of trying to revive the tired original engine I bought another 288 for less than I would have paid for new pistons and rings. Pre-purchase of the new to me engine I was allowed to remove the head the cylinders are beautiful, original pistons (std stamp), and water jacket is very clean
It does have some leak down from the exhaust so I set out to learn how to resurface the seats. I practiced on the tired engine today, unfortunately due to covid-19 we've been ordered to stay at home for all nonessential's so I had to come up with some alternatives for Prussian blue pencil which I can't seem to find - here are my results.
