Very impressive Resto and an inspiration to many by the looks of things.
I'm looking forward to seeing the rest :)
Very well done to you and your team.

doing your brakes in side on a bench is cheating surely you should wait until it starts to rain and go an lie in a puddle and do it.. or is that just me? On a serious note though, the quality of your work looks very high and you should be proud of it.

Haha, this is sort of funny for myself to admit, but --

I've been having trouble with my front suspension, and some folks have suggested that my torsion bar may be bad in some way. I honestly wasn't sure what a torsion bar was! But with the help of your wonderful photos, I think I've figured it out -- and in any case I have a textbook case to compare my own against!

So I thank you very much! And I must add you're doing just a wonderful job -- that Minor will last another half-century, I'd wager.
The way to a man's heart may be making food, but the way to my heart is buying me car parts!
