Looking good, those carbys are actually Dellortos by the way, not Webers. Probably 40mm DHLAs off an Alfa.

Hahahha, *head in shame* I'll just keep quiet from now on

Gotta hate waiting ages for places to fix your ****!
Chrome places are no better, because there's so few of them I guess. Always flat out.

Who did the Reco, dude? Spot on job.

Bloody hell! First time I've seen a smooth un-cracked, un-faded MK1 dash!
Congratulations on that!
