Re: Painting steel, aluminium and fibreglass
Hi guys, Just read through this post. I also had a question about prep and painting. I am currently in the process of restoring my 1958 Morris 1000.

Re: Cylinder head 12G940

Re: Cylinder head 12G940

Re: Cylinder head 12G940
Hi Everyone, This is my first post here! Although I have spent many hours reading through posts. Just need some advice before I make any rash decisions to buy. I am looking to upgrade to a 12G940 head on my 1098. I have found this one on Ebay that looks to be a good deal. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/C...
