Looks lovely, better than new (gaps, stance)? Butzi would be proud. Any signs of rapprochement with the engine builder? John

Looks very nice, good luck with the snagging, not sure it ever ends...

Also I would be warey of using wheel arch lip=to=floor to evaluate ride height/corner positions, just a thought.

Finished just in time to use it. :drunken:

Well done Jamie, looks fantastic. And really a lot of it is your own work.
Thanks for the entertainment, also!
Cheers, Richard.

Nothing. He's built a superb engine though - nothing can change that.

I'll take credit for putting it back together, but everything else was done by other people. I am delighted with everything I've had done, so at some point I'll make a definitive list of people involved.
