You finally got fed up with being 100% historically accurate and put copperslip on your Victorian steam traction engine?  :P ;D

I noticed while I was under the car doing the work that I had a water leak. You can just see the red anti freeze about to drip off the bell housing. Looks like I might have to get a HBV :(

Im one of those people that hoard things, so I thought seeing as it took me so long to find this car I might as well fit all the bits that I have bought over the last year or so and at least I know the cars right.  Proactive rather than reactive  :y

See about adjusting the steering box too.  MDTM did mine at Brackley.  That and the wishbones both transformed the car.
