Used to mess about with this car in the late 1970’s early 1980s.Have piccies of it in bits
I would love to see the piccies, if you would allow me to publish a few here that would be great. Thanks
I have also worked on 1023 in the past and would love to see what has changed in her lifetime.
I have pics of the engine compartment when i worked on it in Boca Raton ,Fl. It was residing there for about 10 years. Had to rebuild 48 Ida webbers from sitting got all grungy. Same with carbs on a 289 Cobras. From poor maintenance.
