The ek4 turned up in the post,

the truck and bodyshell look to have had very little use,
one problem I did have was when I removed the engine I found there to be no head gasket and the piston ring had grown into the slot in the piston,

I tried to remove it but it was so jammed it came off in 3 pieces,
so I bought a new piston ring @£14.99 and a full pro 70bk gasket/ seal kit @ £3
also the front bearing sounded a little rough so I got a new one for £1.50

all the bits except the piston ring have arrived so should have the piston ring hopefully tomorrow,

anyway here's some pics of the truck minus the engine which isn't built back together yet.
