Nice to see the old bus still going (ish!) waves to Pete B as well. My panel has been laid up for a few years as funds stopped me going to shows, new battery and fuel needed I think. Hope you get the engine sorted or will it be an upgrade?
Be interesting to know where you’re going with the engine considering the influences you might get from these two well known individuals. So the possibilities are endless.

I’d be putting a new loom ahead of the interior revamp when it comes to priorities mate
Hi mate , yeah the little Turtle has been plodding along great thanks until the recent fail.
I think the plan is just to rebuild/ repair the original 1600sp and put funds into other work that’s needed rather than a big engine
I can recommend Iain Burns for a loom.
