Starting to put the Jumbo back together

The paints now hardend off for me to start putting it back together.
Made a trolley for it fitted engine block on to see how it al looket, fuel tank sits under engine.
All gasget faces need cleaning and flywheels I will do this as I go along.
As you can see the engine had got dropped when being delivered end split the side of the engine block, I cleaned everything up V the joint out and stuck it in the oven .
What some crap cast iron the engines made of ,I managed to sort it out after the third attempt just kept cracking. Now welded both sides and the inside I coved right over the weld to give a bit more strengh.
Here's a couple of photos so far

hi Chris....
well that looks like a very good job...wish i hadn't sold it now....
what did you use to weld it up,was it cast rods or have you had it done by someone else....
its going to look the nuts as all ways mate...have you made the handles or bought them from the states...

Mike I used some nickle cast rods at £12.00 for 4 but they done the job great ,so I dont mind
Has for the handles I got them in from the good old USA, pair of handles, wheels and engine bolsters ane P&P came to £75.00

Mike the yanks do have very fast broadband, the computers they use are years old as they don't need fast pc's because of the fast broadband. News is were about to get fast broadband in this area it has to be faster then what we have now, yet we shouldn't complain we have electricty to all the houses not like Pete.
