Ooh, nice, not sure how I missed this...

Good luck with everything, it was a small mission getting some parts for mine so shout if you need a hand :wink: Mine is going back to my aircooled mechanic for a full new clutch as her thrust bearing is whining but other than that she runs pretty well and is neat for her age...

Started on car 2 weeks ago, lots done and lots to do :(. Started on chassis as well but will only complete that next year with new suspension parts. Need to get car ready for feb, so doing body work, will drive with holy pan and transfer body etc when other pan is done. Paint and filler does cover lots of the rubbish :(
