Loved these for years, ever since living in Bournemouth and seeing a cherry red lowrider one.
The Cedric is on the "one day" list.
Really like what you've got planned and will be keeping a close eye on this thread, so keep the updates coming.

Oh, this one is gonna get finished, don't you worry! TCC, that sound like the ultimate ultimatum! w4nker lol To get it running well, in the end, i took it to my local 'classics' garage. Turns out the timing was more retarded than a bus-load of retards hahah, and ive got a cylinder down on compression, but its smooth now which will do....just takes a bit to warm up. Going in for welding next week so may be MOT'd by the end of the month |
