SWB project you say...

Non matching but correct Ali engine......needs all the usual work, sills, kidneys, floors. Not mine I hasten to add but I was tempted to have a look. Not cheap but it is RHD....

You guys are all too kind, thank you
Now that this '
restoration' thread is dead I will start a new thread in the members cars section once I have a few decent photos to post.......sorry to be indulgent but I enjoy looking back at the cars history/events and you know I like to post a pic or two!
For now I'd like to say a final big thank you to everyone on DDK......the support, comments, help and advice have proved invaluable and has been greatly appreciated.
DDK rocks, cheers guys

Just one last thing....
.....the megaphones needed to a little adjustment since the muffler was fitted so being a nice day I took the car in to get them done......and I made a little sound clip
......
.....well the rolling road sounded a little tame!
One day I will grow up......in another 20 years or so!

That wonderful sound track is not every ones cup-of-tea let alone very wearing on a trip!
I used to run a great rally silencer, 2 in 3 out uncapped for nearly 20 years, half the noise of Darren's megaphones, but have upset tranquil people several times. You needed to pass horses and cyclists on tick-over/neutral. Even then you can spook a horse or the bloke next door...
