Pedro - Im working towards the end of June with a bit of luck. The body man says mid june but ive heard thoes stories before  There is no rush as such as the Senny is running fine at the moment. Dave - Engine not comming out both the Jig man and Body man recon they can sort with the engine in. The gsi is very solid underneath so i will endever to give it some wax treatment when i get it back. Take care brian |

Good work, Squire - will it be at Billing, or is that a bit too optimistic?

Pedro - It was the plan to have it ready for Billing but no time now. cant grumble rearly as the lad who has done the pannel work has done it at weekends and evenings when he had the time. Just took a bit longer than expected especialy when someone suplied the wrong slam panel to start with (wonder who that was ) Still will be well sorted for York Racecourse Chrismec - Must say the workmanship impressed me especialy on the chassis rails you cant tell they were bent at all. The inner pannel has been cut in half and new section welded in and as you say you cant see the join. He is only a young lad of 20years but he cant half sort cars out. thanks for interest take care brian |

Carlton_mad - No sorry wont be going down to Billing.
I will be on the re-build of the gsi and going to the Midlands ABS meet in the midlands with some other lads who cant get down to billing.
However if you have the right cowl i would still be very interested in getting it.
How many pennies do you require for it.
take care brian
