Firstly I would like to thank James for doing this. It's something well beyond my capabilities, either due to lack of knowledge, somewhere to do it at my apartment complex, my physical ability (still recovering from significant back injury from January) and mentally (a lot of my plate, and awaiting ADHD work for meds).
Secondly I am really excited by all of this and hopefully will be able to cruise the mean streets of Canberra in the Jaffa again. And grateful to have a mate like James willing to do the work. Without his support I probably would've just up and sold the car and moved on disappointed.
Thirdly I have first hand experience of James' engine work and I can safely say it is better than most engine rebuild shops. His attention to detail is outstanding and his ability to think outside the box when needed is impressive.
The Jaffa turns 50 this year. Even though it's now too late to get it over the line in time for its approximate build date (mid-June going by stamps on several parts), it would be awesome to see it at a show and shine again sometime before the end of the year or early next year.
