      Cheers, Stu
      A man of your ability could have that done in a day....

      As you say, Rome wasn't built in a day.

        I'm OCD too and I would like to add my name to the "two clock" list please! As they say, "Less is more"!

          I'd leave the 6 clock in there, providing it all works at least you'd know what your engines up to

            That's a clean motor, love it! My very first motor was an Anglia van over 50 years ago.

              Your van brings back many happy memories! During my early days as a TV engineer (1970/80's), I had three Mk1 and three Mk2 Escort vans before "upgrading" to a Mk2 estate, mostly all from new! I then had three Mk3 and two Mk4 Escort FWD vans...they were not so much fun in the wet compared with the old vans! No load in the back, I could hang the back-end out on greasy roundabouts! Great fun!

              Well done and good luck in your restoration, and more photos please.
