Well done on the workshop at home.
Yes the motor is interesting, real "old school", fabricated sump that looks like it's from the Flintsones and (oil line) plumbing like Brutus would put in a grade 2 listed building but not in his car.

Wickes concrete paint DB, the horrible bit was scrubbing the concrete floor by hand with a wire brush.
But it was worth it, I'll never lose a nut or washer on that floor.
