Excellent project!
Towed the car up to leicester so is seating at the workshop this is going to be my 1st job to finish in my spare time.
Hoping to have finished running, mot and taxed for retro-rides in august
Good luck on getting everything finished in time, its the small jobs at the end that always seem to eat up the time.
