hi, will be over wednesday, aim for 09:30. Sasha is 4 and i am sure as he gets older he will carry on with the carrier hobby, but for now carriers are out of bounds for him, 'tank hunter' is named 'Alexander' after him.
Those waiting for downpipes, hope to finish them before Christmas!. see u wednesday, kev.

Kevin came over today .so now the down pipes are fitted. Run the engine up to temp and all is well, no leaks or drips. Switched off and after a few checks i sat myself in the drivers seat , pressed the start button, engine starts, clutch down , in gear and away i go - 1 foot forward and 1 foot back that will do for its first move under its own power in 60 years.
