Fantastic work, Jon. I’m now wondering why I didn’t go for a highly polished finish...
Kind regards

Only update so far is that we managed to get the engine running again after 18 years. Replaced all fuel and oil lines throughout and had the MFi pump stripped and cleaned and off she went. Sounds awesome on straight pipes.

I have it on Video but have never figured out how to attach video here....?

Really nice story and nice work. Also followed link from E911SReg. Appropriate that such a good car gets a loving resto.

Very close now. Not posting pics just yet as the owner has yet to see the completed car.
