First, just a few pics from when I found the truck. These are back in June '21....

Some might say "mint condition" at first sigh but it ain't like that....

Note the winch base on the bed. Still wondering what did they have in mind....
I've never seen a vehicle with so many layers of paint. I'm not joking when telling 3 mm of paint have been applied thru the years. And so badly done it makes me angry. More details about that later.

Tried to follow these cables that day. Impossible. Lots of switches on the dash. Why? More on that later
Engine I got in my truck is the venerable T214. As mentioned in another thread the carb is not original and after checking it a bit in detail I found it's a Spanish-made Bressel brand, model 34 DMS. These ones were very popular back in the 70s in Seat engines.

Serial not possible to be revealed that day. Again, layers of paint everywhere.

Note an old coil still attached to the body.

Didn't know the 214's used to come with a heat shield below the manifold. Aftermarket addition?

Ok, that's all for the moment, folks. The shop where the job is being carried out is 36km from home so I cannot be everyday on this.
I have more photos from the shipping of the truck, the arrival at the shop and when the real work started. Next week I'm gonna be posting that part. In future editions I'll be uploading pics of the overhauling and every time I consider there's an update to show.
See ya.
