Regarding the Gearbox and gas equipment for my car, I did speak with Scott when I was in England but when he learnt that the car had left the States he seemed to lose interest in re-uniting the components; I have rung his house several times since but he has always been "unavailable" so I don't know if I will ever get the pieces back together.
I am not sure where the Californian owner sourced the nose from, I am pretty sure that it didn't come with the car when he bought it from MO though.
If anyone has any info. on Superbird RM23V0A171628 I would appreciate it, came from New York.
