Re: Thank you!
Hi Folks,
2 bits of good news from my perspective, firstly I was finally discharged from the Christie hospital after 8 years with a clear bill of health and secondly high torque starter fitted to my 356A which then meant that the engine burst into life in the car for the first time since I've owned it (over 10 years)...it's alive and well and so am I.
What a week!
Thank you for listening.

Re: Thank you!
Thanks for all the support folks, I really appreciate it!
Got to attend to all the fiddly bits now i.e. throttle and clutch adjustment and optimising the handbrake and then the remainder of the interior can be fitted prior to getting it MOT'd (peace of mind).
Hopefully I'll be able to meet up with some of you in 2022...my 2.8 RSR tribute should also be back on the road as well so exciting times!
Cheers

Cheers Karl,
That car of yours is stunning, can't wait to see it finished in the flesh one day!
When I started mine all those years ago, the most complimentary thing that people said about it was "well the roof looks good"......and that was about the only thing that was!
