I don't know why, but I knew you would like it. Take it as dedicated to you :wink:

That's looking really good David. I still have some original Associated white servo tape to make the cover for the gearbox top bearing. Just in case you need to keep the period police at bay... :wink:

Like hell you do.
These are very nice pictures.

Almost looks like a candle-lid diner for 2 in an ad for a five star restaurant.
