Daytona GTB Restoration - November 2012
During November work has continued on the engine. On removal of the remaining exhaust and inlet valves we have found some of the valve guides to have slightly more movement in them than expected.
The gasket surface of the heads has been skimmed and refaced.
Work has also started on the main body of the car. All the suspension, brakes, pipe work and ancillary items within the engine bay have been removed. All suspension and hub assemblies have been dismantled and old bushes pressed out of wishbones and upright components.
On inspection of the chassis, we found four outriggers requiring replacement due to corrosion and poor previous repairs.
