Re: OA Longshaft
Just like to say now she is complete and looking fantastic, Also a new least of life,Perhaps she has another 76 years.
I've always want to do one of these engines now i have
. Well boy's it's down to you now to make your judgment good or bad, so leave your comments on what you like and dislike.
I know you may think it's over the top what i have done, But it was worth it to me. I did not want her to be a spare part engine at all
