Looking really good Muk, nice gaps.     Its been sometime since i last looked and its looking the mutts nuts.

 

 

Mutts nuts, I like that one.....I haven't touched her for a while, Huy'e needs to get on the road first, then she will get my full attention again, September I hope........

[minimuk]

At last Huy'e is back on the road and tuned enough for now, time to get back on the old girl after 12 month  and need to keep up with someone....got her out of her corner,now she has the whole garage to herself.....starting soon again with some rear quarters and arches, then weld her back together....well that's the plan
