Not forgotten about the timing cover gasket. I've contacted the seller a couple of times and he still needs to search his stock. Keeps giving me a revised, later, date. I think he has boxes full of parts and gasket sets and, basically, needs to sort out what's there. I'll keep contacting him.

The ebay seller has been back to me now he's finished going through all the gaskets. Not good news, unfortunately, as all he has is one head gasket, left hand bank he thinks. If any do turn up, which he thinks is unlikely, he said he'll let me know.

Slumdog now round at the RATCAVE Refurbed running gear installed to tow her round and engine and box ready to go on in ....We are popping in some new stainless water pipes + an ali rad .
A/C comp and pipes all cleaned up and mounted ,loom in and she should be ready for festive frolic

Looking good....
Very pleased to see engine and chassis next to one another....and with her bottom in the air ready for some action.
must have been quite an operation to get the chassis into ratcave 2.
Bet you're glad to have the free space back at home.

Any pics of the fibreglass repairs?

All together
I need to send the injectors off for a refurb and have a few jobs in the bay to finish off + Dave wants some 3 point belts installing in the rear but hope to be done soon .

Looking very good..I'll be putting some new driving gloves on the Christmas wish list.

...tan string-back driving gloves; it's a look that says ''I'm in control of my vehicle''

Thanks for that link...I'd forgotten partridge was getting out of a Renault...how apt
I am indeed turning into Partridge little by little (at least in fashion, and car terms)

I showed Mrs Williams the picture of the work in progress....aside from her very obvious enthusiasm for the refurbished running gear, rebuilt engine...and another safe, reliable, and appreciating classic about to arrive..she also (or rather, actually) said..."ooh..I like the yellow one......"

I take this to mean that I now have the mandate to procure a yellow a610..if funds (doubtful) should ever allow....
Just posting this here for the record.

Cool

Now all finished with a fresh coat of paint ,loom in and just a few bit to pop back in both sides .I need to pressure test the fuel lines and electrics before I can drop the heart back in , waiting on new stainless pipes to go in also .
