After browsing that well know auction site again I can across another engine and gearbox that was going cheap so I had to buy them. I can use parts off both engines and gearboxes to hopefully make a complete working set.

To help raise funds for the big restoration the decision was made to sell one of the hardtops. With the funds I am now the proud owner of a new sealey shot blasting cabinet. I am now obsessed with cleaning any rusty part that will fit inside it.

After assessing the state of the engine currently in the Frogeye it became very aparent that a replacement was needed, so after a browse on a very well know auction site I came across a perfect 948cc replacement. After some last minute bidding I became the proud owner of a new engine and the seller also had a gearbox to match that I was more than happy to take off his hands.
