Enjoy!
I second that, but somehow I don't think John needs any coaxing from us!!!

Mine is pedestrian compared to yours and it gets a lot of attention. I would bet you and your car were mobbed!

Nice swirl pot! I just got one too (see members cars) and then the hoses looked old so got some silicone ones,
then the hose clips looked old, so I got some new ones...

Although I saw the your Europa episode of Overhaulin on youtube,
it seems to now be on TV here in the UK, so hope to see it soon 'properly'. I keep hoping someone might take
my Europa secretly and restore it, but when I look in the garage- nope, still there!

John, have you pretty much finished the car then (realizing our cars are never really finished!)? Is it going to be your daily driver?

Let us know how the dyno time goes!  :lotus:

Yes pretty much finished, I will be driving it but probably not daily
I've become really attached to my air conditioner and it's really not the car for stop and go traffic  8)
