I have imported from Australia 1957 XK 150 which has stood for 17 years by the coast. I have separated the body from the chassis and the engine from the chassis. The body is rusty and pitted the chassis is sound, both now at Prostrip. I will get the engine re built by a specialist anyone had any recent experience having engine re built? any tips would be helpful.
thanks

Hi David Yes i agree doing a total nut and bolt restoration is very rewarding and as you say you get to know every part of the car. I am just finishing off my 1947 MG TC. On the XK the only bit I will subcontract out is the engine re build and the upholstery. I am thinking of starting a web page and showing all the parts and showing how I have put them together this info maybe be of use to others. Will keep you informed how I get on.
I am still hoping to hear from anyone who has had a engine re built recently to share there experience.
This is the back axel the corrosion this is very bad
