Hi Paul,
You must be a happy bunny, all of a sudden it's worth the wait, from the look of the induction I take it you went for the extra spec?
Cheers,
James

Nice work Paul.

Reference that lift, does anyone know where I can get one?

Hi there,
I got it off eBay,they don't come up for sale very often, it's a celette eco2000 and was designed for lifting cars on and off body jigs, as a guide I bought it a couple of years ago for just under £500, worth it's weight in gold to me!
Cheers,
James

Thanks James, Yes its brand new. Think the flywheel and the starter is all thats been re used pretty much.

Fair play to John, he finished it on Friday and i was in London yesterday so couldn't pick it up but he was more than happy to go in today on a Sunday and let me collect it. Spent a couple of hours with him yakking away (As you and Gary know i like to do!)

I know it will be worth the wait, especially when i fire it up..... all good things come to those who wait!

Looks very good

Don't forget to fit the dry sump belt before you fire it up
