Absolutely stunning :thumbs:

How long did it take you from starting to get to this point? (It'd take me years.......)
Thanks mate.

Its taken about 8 months to get to this stage as I'm really busy with other peoples jobs.Been collecting a few bits and pieces that were broken or missing.Engine will be going soon to be rebuilt and modified
