Default expensive end to the week

Busy week, collected the engine from the reconditioners on Thursday.
All the valve seats on the left side have been replaced and 2 on the right. All valves have been ground to suit the valve seats and all remaining seats have been cut & ground.
Also had paint samples dropped off on Monday/Tuesday at the local paint shop. This is from NOC samples and Colin Jones.
So I have now collected 12 Lt of paint, thinners and Universal Flattening Base- this should get me started. The paint shop have also kept the formula for future paint purchases.
So this weekend I intend to clean and scrub the engine and commence re-assembly and paint the underside of the hull floor twice (?).
