TYPHOON 10cc RESTORATION

Here's the engine as we found it in a very sad state of affairs and looking like he'd been suffering at the hands of Harry Homer or his close associate Barry the Butcher....

Well, first step is to dismantle the engine and find out what it needs to bring it back to life.

Well what a very abused looking engine, someone's tried to remove the crankshaft not realising that the prop driver is actually screwed onto the crank and has managed to smash both sides of the front housing.

After a bit of a good look through I think we have got quite a major mission on our hands. OH well, never mind, this poor old Dutchman will definitely live to run another day and will one day very soon be turning more fuel into loud noise, smoke and fire.

First step is off to the welders cottage to weld up the small hole some morron drilled into the center case bottom.

Then we'll make a plan to resurrect whatever other parts we can salvage from this mess.
