Been slowly plodding along - not easy now I'm away most of the week for work.
However with only a few weeks left until its debut show we must press on.
So one weekend the engine went in:

Well today was show day! The weather was a bit poor, some very light spitting showers with dry spells in between and just one bit of heavyish rain for 10 minutes. So not a bad day but enough to put off a lot of public visitors.
Had a poke around Richspec's 7 port - nice looking bit of kit which looks like it would go well. That Arden head just looks so 'right'.
Not got many photos but here are a selct few for now:

Aye, saw this today and very nice in the flesh it is too
I've got a couple of photos which I'll post up tomorrow.
It was a pity about the weather, it really affected the turnout, we were down from ten cars to four! We had my 8 port
a 1071 S, a mini 30 and my brothers 8 port

I'm away from home with work, but apparently a message has been left on the answer machine from a freelance journo working for MiniWorld who wants to do a feature!
Chuffed to bits that someone thinks it is 'worthy'!
