Let me know if you want his number to have a chat with him.

I don't know if you fancy a go yourself but I'd think you should be able to get good results with some autosol & a tooth brush & a bit of elbow grease..

Posted: Sun Aug 13, 2017 5:53 pmThanks lads. I am enjoying this restoration. I just had an email from a friend who services engines for British Airways. He has offered to clean my carb, cylinder head and hubs FOC with aqua-blasting, happy days. It's not what you know.
