G'day from Western Australia

For now, I lumped all the pre-war cars together, I would LOVE for there to be enough demand to split it into groups (hint...hint, post here about your pre-war Singer)

Hello Bill,

Thanks for the pictures. And yes I will post some myself, the workshop should send some to me for work acceptance but not yet, yet.

Good job and great pictures! I have been telling people about this process for years but just get sceptical looks.
Good luck with the rest of your rebuild.

Great video from Tweed's Garage on YouTube regarding laser welding the same sort of cracks on a Riley Nine block!

Seems these engines suffered quite a few similar problems to our Singer engines, even though they appeared a lot beefier.

This is a good little Youtube channel and I enjoy Mr Tweed's honest and down-to-earth approach...
