Dorris Gets A New Heart

Spent the weekend down on the island helping Jim change the engine on Dorris!

After a few small issues we got the old engine removed and a very good Mk2 one that Jim had painted up with new gaskets, seals and a clutch! Here are a couple of pics for your viewing pleasure!

Enjoy!
