Not got those issues yet, despite being a subscriber, so thanks for the heads-up. Think I'll still install those 'copper/brass' parts on the inners for a while so that I don't stress the paint too much as I install them, don't get why they didn't make them the correct colour in the first place though. Wonderful build, and an excellent blog. I continue to wait with interest for the next instalment. P.S. If it wasn't for external influences for the next 2 weekends, you'd have convinced me to go back and add to my blog py getting round to painting my engine and completing the installation of it!

Wonderful build Phil. Nice to see the level of detail you are putting up there. Do you mind telling us the size of the rod you used for the sun visors? I want to make the same 'modification' and it'll save me quite a bit of work. PS, I still don't have issues 80-83 yet. Got 84-87, just no 80-83. Think I'm going to have to get in contact with CS again if they're not here by the weekend. Current Builds
