Welcome Brett.
Nice to see your car and that you will be using it for what its built for!
I expect you will be keeping the struggle steering in that case.

Welcome Brett, love the car and the colour, the big 'ol Bee's pull it off just right. You got the right idea mate, rolling resto, use and abuse.

Hello, nice looking car. What shippers did you use? I had to chase the ones that imported mine to get the paperwork sorted.
I have friends in rushden, I will keep a look out for your car cruising the mean streets of rushden town when I'm there

Well got the car back from MOT today. A couple of issues to address now are fuel gauge and the tick tock tach are not working. The steering is so bloody heavy as I broke my left arm a couple of months back and in truth the arm is only about 60% so it going to take a while . Also the wheels are 17 inch and they rub on the front wheel arches so looks like they will have to come off and put a set of Magnums or Torque thrust D's on it. So question is 15 or 16 inch wheels ???.
