Tom is doing it for me. I don't have the time (nor really the inclination myself as I'm too busy) to get it done. Tom is an engineer who has spent the last year rebuilding overbored DB6 engines amongst many other things! I reckon he'd do a far better job than I.
Here is how he has got on with the all the prep stuff so far.
Okay Tom's pics:
My AE86 virtually buried, but still there! It will live again!
The block and ancillaries in the kitchen.
This is everything back from the machine shop and a whole load of Toyota parts hiding in that box:

Spot the problem one! 
Initially cleaned but I expect we'll do more with this:
An ever increasing pile of bits!
Random nuts and bolts cleaned:
Sorted and bagged:

Main bearing caps dried immediately and protected from corrosion:
Everything you need to build a 4AGE!
