Another nice job Mike
As they say in the USA awesome
I enjoyed following your progress when you were building/converting it
As you say, it would have been ideal if you could have kept it when you got the SP,
Chris.

Very nice job. Well done on the super quick strip & rebuild. Looks really cool. Are you going to pick any bling bits out? maybe polish the clutch cover "star"?

Still a couple of jobs I want to do, like replace the scabby oil lines and repaint the motor, but they'll wait until winter.
When I saw your photoshop pic (no disrespect intended to you) I was not so sure but, I have to say that is looking pretty damm good to me Mike
I think the black goes well against the yellow paint work.
What are you intending to replace the oil lines with
Chris.

Ford Sea grey metallic is almost an exact match for the engine casings, if a little glossy.
Now I do like the look of that......might have to steal that one for myself
What did you use to polish the heel plates?
