Brett,

Nice work.

This is almost the identical project to mine that I never finished four years ago, even down to the paint scheme.

I also had Group A engine mounts, but a word of warning. In my experience, these wouldn't allow me to fit my engine with a 2wd exhaust manifold - maybe something to consider...

Take a look at my old restoration thread:

https://passionford.com/forum/restor...-for-sale.html
