Err, why? That seems like an epic waste of petrol there.

I left my Elliot outside for 3 weeks while I was in the Czech Republic, I turned her over for about 3 seconds before she fired when I got back.

Shame my rear brake cylinder let all the fluid out while i was away eh? Haha.

Hehe, making a flip front work etc is easy,... of that you're right..

Getting it to look good is the tricky bit, panel lines,.. scuttle etc and the wigns joins on the A-panel...

You'll do it fine mate,.. looking good, those brace bars look good.. are they bent? or cut, welded and tidied?
