You have indeed had a busy time but must feel good to see the progress.
Carry on young man, you are doing brilliantly.

Hope you are well.

Thank you so much !

Yes, absolutely I cannot wait too see it all stripped down !

Going to be well worth it,

Thanks again

Looking good - don't get that Bentley covered in too much muck!
Me still fettling Model A Special/Hot Rod and waiting for return of 410 from axle people - you seem to be making good progress - am presuming you've decided to go the Triumph route on engine front - it seems to be a relatively well worn path.....
Trust all well with you
Andrew

Hiya Andrew !

You are very right ! I have ordered a car cover for it so will get it covered asap !

Hows the hot-rod build coming along ? Ahh thats nice any delivery date re 410?

Thank you, every spare moment sand ! Yes either triumph or i was thinking Ford Pinto engine as they can be tuned easily to gain high HP ( relatively )

Yes all well here thank you - except for frozen fingers from sanding for hours !

Hope you a keeping well sir

best

Hello!
On the Model A the hard works done - it's MOT'd and I'm really now just fettling for fettlings sake and tackling a few "easy wins"/minor improvements.
Bristol I'm not really chasing either the car or the inevitable bill! They've asked if they can hang on to it to put a few miles on the car and there are a few minor issues on the gearbox front I'd like them to resolve so I'm just sitting quietly.
On the engine front of yours while I completely understand the pinto choice a six has to be the way to go IMHO - but it's your car!
Cheers
Andrew
