I'm glad for you Adam as it's been quite cool watching it get built up in the Restorations forum.

Can't wait to see it out on the track

Better get that noise level down tho Adam, I was 1.4 dB over at Castle Combe the other week and they wouldn't let me run

Was a car there with a side exit and he was 110dB in the morning, limit was 100

Nice one!

I was helping my mate rebuild the engine in his XR2 Turbo and it's a good feeling when you start it for the first time after having it all stripped down to basically a shell

You must be well happy
