Hi all, just a quick "piccy" on the ultra slow process of my Moonfleet Aquila due to present economic climate
![Tumbleweed :tumbleweed:](./images/smilies/icon_tumbleweed.gif)
however, at long last, engine is now in with engine mounts in correct position, and after many hours of labour
![Heat :heat:](./images/smilies/heat.gif)
the shaft now marries up nicely to gearbox flange
![Perfect :perfect:](./images/smilies/icon_e_perfect.gif)
(which in the process had to be machined to fit) as it must have been the incorrect one when I had the boat 2 years ago

. ... please note rear mounting bolts not fully home when this picture was taken ... just got carried away with camera too quick

got nice re chromed rocker cover to go on , and with a bit of elbow grease spit and shine,the engine will hopefully regain it's lust it had just before project was mothballed
