Welcome!! Well, methinks the cure for your "Brit car disease" is to
have you watch 5 hours of video, showing "Dr. Rust" in action. "Yes, I
see the paint bubbling on the sill dog legs...oh no, now the sill
diaphram is being attacked...there's a hole! ...oh my gosh, there goes
the boot (trunk) floor and top of the petrol tank...stop, stop, stop the
video!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I PROMISE not to buy and/or work on
any more British cars!"
Actually, that would be too inhumane and cruel of a punishment for
ANYONE to endure! So, 'nuff said except welcome, welcome, WELCOME!
P.S. I'm already lusting after your Rover powered B. Just tell me it
doesn't run as well as I think it does and I'll sleep better tonight!!
Cheers,
