good luck with the build mate!
stay classy
Nice list of parts so far, have fun with it all.
If you get stuck, I've got a windscreen and bonnet here in WA.
tig, on the body? better of with a mig. though the tig is useful for other stuff.
brand new crank though is impressive, doesnt look like youre mucking around
mig would be easier and quicker but i dont mind taking my time with this. Also I have never tig welded before so its a chance to learn a new skill.
I bought the new crank a while ago simply because I have everything but as far as the block is concerned. Hoping to put together an engine half as cool as the TPS built 4a in the Newera Imports Levin.

How did the throttle bodys get so clean? And what intake manifold?
The throttle bodies were sand blasted
and the manifold is RS Chita,
Although I think mine is an older design as the throttle body flanges are not connected in sets of two as shown in the link.
