Bet you're loving it Ted.?Hope you've plenty of black 'sharpies' and resealable freezer bags to get that lot in and labelled up for later?
Dont forget, take more pictures than you think you have from every angle if you're not sure if you'll remember and the more coffee breaks the better..............with biscuits! Its the law! ;) 8)

Never used freezer bags I use clear plastic takeaway boxes and some odd plastic woven boxes for bulky stuff (Wendy threw them out)
Cam covers, cylinder head & block go in a big black plastic box with old towels or bubble wrap to stop damage. I try to arrange them in some sort of order on my garage shelves.
Today I have been searching for the alternator rotor end bolt without success. I'm eyeing the Chihuahuas as suspects.

The freezer bags are great as they have that slide fastening so you can open and close em as much as you like. I get them up to 18" long for the bigger bits. They come in mixed packs on flea bay for ablut 12 quid odd. I dont have the room for boxes so have everything separated into these bags and written on as to where and what it is and then goes into the main build box.
I have one tote for all new stuff and another full of the bagged bits ready to be cleaned, fettled, sworn at etc. they both sit under the bench when its up so works ok for me. i tried the take away containers but endedup with loads of lids and no bottoms so went back to the bags. Its the same place where I get those little tubs from that I sent that snot in to you last month. Theyre god to and great in the sonic cleaner bath meaning you can do heaps all together without having to remember whats what after mixing it up.
I do have slight OCD though which might explain it. I haven't really done a huge amount over here yet, concentrating on cutting the hedge and getting the place tidy as i couldnt stand to look at it any more, it looked like someone had just stabbed it with a trimmer and I just HAD to sort it!
I am a strange chap sometimes ;D ;D ;D
