Restorers Rendezvous

D now chuffed and pleased to be effectively finished, not that he will be ever finished. Took a little longer than anticipated, in that he bought a purportedly 'done up' engine, but he couldn't get it to fire, no matter what he tried. Eventually worked out that it had the wrong camshaft in it !!! At that stage , without trust, it was a case of back to square one, and totally stripping and rebuilding the engine himself. Now going nicely, and sounding the part too.

A has been regularly in over the last year, and beavering away on totally rebuilding his navarra from times past, such that he now knows every single part personally , which will stand him in good stead as he crosses the simpson desert soon, as he treks all over australia ( or till the money runs out or ...)

J came in originally to build a track car, an Excell, as an economic way of getting into legitimate hard driving, something that's politically incorrect nowadays, and profitable for the govt. This he successfully did, but has now decided to change focus and get into rallying instead. Is now well on the way. Car is now stripped and painted and getting cage installed, ready for more rebuilding and reinstating. He is a diligent and dedicated worker who gets things done.
