Better than factory, great job.
Thanks Dave.
Heaps of time was spent on this particular restore and i hope people can appreciate it and enjoy it at the same time.
People like Nino, Gavin, (who has been hiding of late 
) Ian, Nick, Tony, Millsy and lets not forget Daniel 
and the others put up restore threads to motivate and teach people. Usually you pay for this info.
I like the others want people to take the plunge and get their hands dirty as in the end the sense of pride is overwhelming.
Yep sure i knew what to do where to start and how to do things BUT you always learn different techniques from different people, which still amazes me today.
Part of the reason this site was started was to encourage restorers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge and encourage other enthusiasts to "Have a go". Restoration is not hard. You just have to be motivated, passionate, patient and have an understanding family.
What is important from my point of view - is that we have ANOTHER machine, restored to its full glory - which otherwise might have been parted out or dumped. Now it is a center piece of a collection and the thread is an educational resource for the next guy to marvel and learn from.
If "I" (and others) have influenced you - then this thread is important as YOU will influence the next guy..
No one has EVER told me - "The Hobby is dying".. It is growing !
Well done, Marco - Great restore.
