Good for you! Great series of pictures. It is funny how you buy something site unseen and when you 1st see it you're kind of taken aback and the 1st thought is "what have I done?". But then you keep looking and sorting through it and finally conclude it'll be fine. Things turn out, as you said. I've been through that more than once.

Car looks good. Glad you're having fun and you're particularly to be commended for pulling all that off 'over the pond'. I'll bet that engine pulls hard. The bottom end is almost too pretty to cover up with an oil pan! Best regards.
