Thanks for the nice remarks Mikey
Engine bay was stripped and re-sprayed then it was a case of sourcing as many parts as possible there are a lot of bits out there but not that many A1 parts left so you just have to wait for them to turn up, With the exception of the rocker cover which I had blasted and re coated, along with strut tops and a few other minor bits and pieces. The decals were bought from a guy called Kevin in Southampton who usually goes to a lot of RSOC meets.

I would love to find a minty white expansion bottle & I need to source another cam belt cover also as I am missing the rubber seal from mine as it was split.
