Hi Mike,
Sounds like a good deal to me. BTW what type of engine are you working
on, a "A+ series Bored out, or late model Midget (Triumph)1500"
Just curious. I'm getting ready to rebuild the TD engine. But I know
once I have her out the tranny need to be looked at, then there's the
engine bay touch up, next the seats and panel, etc. The list keeps
growing.
