The wood on my ski slope was in very poor condition. I replaced it with bit of very good quality NAPA leather, I got an off cut free from a factory that made sofas.

Default Moving Forward...

Hello Friends

So I've gone forward with this and started a new thread (plsss see link). Its been tough to keep things focused with so many questions, starting points - reliant and overlapping systems. Especially because soooo much of this is new to me - and its a can O worms! But things are coming clear. Started with FI problem and its kinda turned into other things.

12 heads are better than 1,,,, sometimes

And, a photo of my last purchase - in from the UK.


Florrs matter, lol

Yep, I originally bought my XJS as a project, even though it was in reasonable condition, with the idea I was going to put an LS1 in it, this didn't happen thankfully and I love the V12, it's a wonderful long distance cruiser, the longest single trip we have done is around 7000kms.
