You'll have to have a "Build Steves Mini Weekend for LeMan" and get everyone round :)

Some nice cars there, and very cool colour combos too 8-)
this is one of the 3 best moments, in the resto process :)

The other 2 (for me anyway) is when all the rust job is done, and the car goes to the paint shop, and last moment
-- drum roll -- startup of the complete rebuilt engine/box 8-) that is a true magic moment.

Keep up the good work guys.
