Slow and steady gets you the best results. I am enjoying seeing how this takes shape.

I probably should do exactly what you have done and remove the engine and tidy it all up like that, but I love driving it too much to have the engine out for too long!

Don't be a stranger and keep us up to date.

Bagged myself and brand-new unused Vw front bumper bar.


Fitted up with new clear indicators.
