Would like to start by saying... A big THANK YOU to ENDURO (Graham) for the loan of his rollover jig and to JOHNYLOCK (John) for the new headlight. Went to the lakes on Sunday, It was good to meet some of the lads of here and put faces to names and to see some of the lads from my early Rs day (17 years ago)

A GREAT DAY.... Well done to all involved.

Well got home and started on the car.... Now its on the Jig. That was a task in its self, Two more dents in the car now Anyway i will post some pics in the morning.
