Wow.....

Le me know if I can be a helping hand. I'd like to get details on where you sent your parts to to have this done. I plan on retiring within the next year and plan to do this myself.

PM me your address. I'd like to come by.

Actually I bought this car 22 years ago and raced it and then it sat idle for around 5 yrs then I decided to fix a leaking cam seal and at the same time buy this awesome kit from John ( Vitesse racing) and then the saga began ....
5 yrs later ... here I am .. Still not finished, but trying

When I get a little more done, you will have to swing by ..

I understand and can relate to the personnal joy and satisfaction a work in progress can bring. Dreams and Fantasies are given free rein everyday without interference by crass reality issues. Please take this on a positive note...I hope you never finish. A Joy to behold! P.S. Would that '88 be a 'Rose'?
