Steve,steve,steve - suspense is a good thing my man - just hope it turns out to every ones expectations 8O

All i can say is, all the remaining tec1's have just gone up in price as they are now even rarer than this time yesterday LOL.

I've already sold the complete drive train from her as well as some other pieces, i'm gonna strip her to the bone and sell as much as i can in order to fund this other thing - i'll get a sale ad up asap mate.
Don't really want to say what the project is as, if i fall on my face with it, i might be able to wriggle out of explaining my self to the Zone LOL.

If it all starts looking promising then, i promise i'll post up some pics and let every one know what the score is.
