Well I found some time this week to work on the V, I started by disassembling the leaf springs to be sandblasted and sized for some new bushings, I threw the drums and hubs in (the last of anything big to be blasted) next I mounted my engine that came from a 113 to my run stand, I am going to...

thanks again guys, I cant remember how much I paid for it, that's what I tell my wife. This V came from the south , I don't think it was ever in mass. I have a lot of detailed pictures of each piece including up grades, and machine work, before and after.
