For those of you who have not seen my pride and joy, here she is, 5 years later, blood, sweat and tears, and lots of cut knuckles. She is great to drive and love pulling up in petrol stations, and people looking at her. Would love to hear what you think. All this with rechargable lighting and no electrics or heating at all. Take care and happy restorations.

Cheers Jimmy. Very Happy
