It's looking lovely I must say. Picking up a few bits from CTWG60 at Stealth on Sunday and then I can start the rebuild of the engine in earnest. That's pretty much all that's left now. Rebuild the engine and plonk it back in. Will put a massive update up with loads of pics in a couple of weeks. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
