I don't think so Kev', I think you are still way ahead of me. You haven't seen the engine and gear box I plan to put in the roadster : they will need a lot of care and cleaning (I think I need to get myself a Dremel )

Thank you Simon. I'm also curious to see how the the natural stainless steel brake lines will look on a black chassis. So I'll have silver callipers, drums and brake lines, all the rest will be black.
