Jessabelle, The saga begins

[Bigfootedboarder]

Have been meaning to start a post about the 'freshening' of my bus for ages but it's been ongoing for a while, being a tech I'm too busy fixing other peoples cars than finding time for Jessabelle! The viscous cycle!
The engine is out as it had a ring problem on cyl 1. Her body isn't that bad compared to some posts on here but am under no illusion it may get worse the deeper I get. Here's a few photos to get it going

Any advise is welcome, and will update when I can or have done something new
