Hi Danny
Nice project good to see an estate making it back to the road,
11 stud head I wonder what else is inside the engine.

The last guy must have had a good spend.
Keep up the good work at least the weather is on the change.

Collage project's brings back long ago memories.

In ths last photo is that the remains of plastic inner wing?
One of the best things to fit, put a pair on my 40 no sign of the usual rust
