Thanks! :wink:

Just recieved from Nick Fulljames who's working late into the evening so I can collect tomorrow...how cool is that! :salute:

Throttle and gear linkages sorted, drive shafts on, air regulator box in place...a few engine decals and she'll be just as she left the factory....tuned up and purring like a kitten (Nick's words!)...

I wonder if he'll go for a spin! 8)

It looks wonderful Darren and it is probably better than it was when it originally left the factory. It will be fabulous to drive it after all that hard work.
