Brett,

Yes mate it is basically a very sound machine that will come up a treat when finished, as i have stated before i am not restoring this to make money i am doing it for enjoyment and to learn a shitload as well.
This machine is exactly what i was looking for.

Cheers

+1  i'm about to try to do a restore in the next 6 months once i work up the guts to pull it apart,like the Grafplast wire markers,do you mind if i ask where you get them from,If it ends up as good as finny's restore it will be a class act,his clearcoat turned out real nice are you planning to do the same?
