Thanks Darryl, I think I'll put it on the back burner for now and slowly get some bits for it.
My SB project is coming along nicely, but I'd appreciate some advice on preparing the engine for paint. When i purchased the mower I gave it a thorough service including carb clean and diaphragm and also a magnetron coil. It runs and idles nicely and I see no reason to pull the engine down.
I'm wondering if there are any methods to prep the engine for paint whilst fully assembled (and still achieve a quality result)? Or am I just going to be cutting corners and realistically need to pull the engine down? I've painted plenty of automotive components but I usually chuck them in the blast cabinet and then lay the paint on - not a suitable option in this scenario.
