    Hi all,
    Just thought I would join up. My interests are old engines and older rides. I am an engine reconditioner (currently in IT) and still dabble in rebuilding engines in my spare time. I have done lots with early side valves from Continentals to Fords, from pouring bearings to making valves. Not forgetting more recent engines as well. I have been reading through some of the threads and I am amazed at the traditional builds that are going on. I look forward to reading some good stuff from you guys. Good forum too.

    Cheers
    A

    Welcome aboard AFL. There is always room for more expert information on the older style Engine builds on this forum.

    Glad to have another Aussie on board also.

    G'day Lifestylz,
    I don't have any rides but I am interested in what others are doing. Just reading of what people are doing is great. I like the fact that this forum is all about pre 64. Real cars where made back then.

    I am fairly well clued up with engine reconditioning principals (Once owned a machine shop) and if I can be of any help to anyone on the site with how things are machined, or how does this work type stuff, I will be happy to share :)
