Excellent work, as usual, that thing looks awesome. I love the color change too. I rarely ever pop into this forum, but there's a lot of inspirational work going on here!

Did my first highway driving today. Pulled very well on acceleration and overall cruising. Put 20 miles on it with only a minor valve cover drip. 😎

The 2110 is very smooth and has great torque. Was a bit chilly today but worth the drive. 😂

Great result, and thanks for detailing the resto. Can you tell me the paint code or colour you used if it's a standard colour, and confirm whether its low gloss or satin or matt?
thanks.
