Spare Engine, Trans, etc

Picked up a spare Austin Healey A-Series engine, and transmission this past weekend.  It is a 1965 Austin Healey Sprite engine and transmission which included the original carburetors and all the accessories.  Nice to have a spare to work on and have waiting if anything goes wrong with the original.

Engine Compartment

The engine compartment is mostly stripped of paint and treated to remove all surface rust.  The steel is in very good condition with no rust other than a very small amount of surface rust.  I should be done with the first treatment of the engine compartment and ready to prime next weekend.  I will move on to the driver's compartment with the same treatment.
