so starting to do bits and pieces - thanks to Era for advice, guidance, and general patience with the engine bits.

Been busy with the brushes...





got to spend time on the rest of it, but that will have to wait til another day...

pretty pleased, couple of nicks, needs flatting and polishing, but not bad for someone who does computers... :D

so in the slowest engine build ever, we\'re slowly getting there. Problem is blanking plates and getting bits as I go, plus wee man being awesome...



Bit different to the norm - nothing shiny...

Righto, so what with life and all getting in the way of important rotary and car stuff, I\'ve finally given up trying to do it and have started shipping it off to have stuff done.

Paintwork completed...














OK, I\'ll admit, it\'s probably better than I would have done, maybe. At least they didn\'t laugh in my face (as requested) when I dropped it off and collected it...

Thanks Clive - looking forward to getting it back on the road.  I think it\'s been off for about 5 years...!!  Going T78 this time... :)

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.
