Just watched this. Stick with it! I've had a stag in my family for the last 30 yrs and when sorted you will have a lovely car. There's a thriving community out there who.can support you and give you advice. Join a club too. Great to see a new generation of owners coming through
Thank you, I'll try my very best to get it back on the road again. Made some good progress so far on the restoration. Hopefully another video should be released this weekend.
Just came across this film , great cars , just a note the crankshaft must be hardened nitrided, most cranks these days are hardened after regrinding , if not it will whare away within 1000 miles , engine back out again , you have spent so much time so far , if the heads have been skimmed beyond 20 thou you will have to place Extra thick gaskets if within 20 thou standard gaskets or the new timing chains won't fit , measure from head face to cam hole 4.427 in minimum standard , ex garage mech years of stag experience, ps I have one , thanks for sharing
Brilliant to see a father and son restore a car together, memories ;)

As your dad said if you've got the time and the passion restore it! Looking forward to seeing more of your restoration cheers.
Appreciate the comment, We're both trying our best to restore this car back on the road where it belongs.

Thank you for your advice, we'll definitely keep that in mind when we come to rebuild the engine.
