Mable has now gone to her new owner in Cambridge, still gutted but needs must. The spitty goes tomorrow evening.

You just never know what is around the corner

The new one looks like a thing of beauty

Ps I can take some pics of engine mounts tomorrow

Hi Folks

Hi Dave

Hello Folks

Some more done, it's that cold I can't etch prime anything and the heaters aren't having an effect in the workshop.
