I hope you get it sorted out OK

Thanks guys but all this is relatively in the past as I'm just bringing the build thread up to date. I sorted out the head problems with Daryl and got a new head matched to the original good head and everything is now going back together with a few other problems as you'll see in the next couple of posts

My target is to get back on the road for Wheels Day on Good Friday.

The absolute downer is that the painter did a not bad job on the 'carbuncle' as below

...but painted it in Ferrari ROSSO RED and not Ford RADIANT RED.

There would be some who could not tell the difference but their guide dogs could and they only see in grayscale.

For the cognoscenti ROSSO RED is is halfway between RADIANT RED and the world famous COLORADO RED (ORANGE)
