Ole,
Although I am a purist, I have to admit your car looks good from
what I saw in the Stardust magazine. The spares are still available to do a
complete rebuild on the original engines as I have done even down to new oil
pumps, camshafts, timing chains and sprockets. If all goes well, I'll have
the rebuilt engine back in my Alpine MK I next weekend.
Regards,
Bob
P.S. to Ole, Good to see you online!
