Looks good fella, was a tatty mess when I first got it, so cleaned it up to the standard you recieved it, but you've taken it to the next level.

I saved you the job of spitting featherat the top left back rocker bolt snapping in you, it did it on me and had to get it removed!!!

Should have come off nice and easy for you?? Genuine ford rocker gasket went back on that with the metal bits in, but cheap enought to go new again.

Looking good.
