The colour is a lot better in the flesh,beryl green,looks awesome, no the engine just had a full strip and plenty of cleaning with tons of new bits,and lots of patience!! haha

I know this may be a daft question, whats the rectangular hole/channel in the body work for, located l/h side of the engine? Mine has the same channel, is it for the auxiliary heater?

Fantastic looking resto you got going on there!!
