Re: Bob Magnotti's pix

Hey Bob,

fantastic job, and I like your inspiration for colour! (see my own 
restoration on www.marcosworld.com and you'll see what I mean!)

I could not help noticing your roll cage, could you give me more 
details about it please?

I'm still trying to work out the correct engine position after myt 
little problem with the new engine mounts (see V4 to V6 engine 
transplant thread), but have at least now built myself a nice big 
double garage at my home and moved the car from my parents so I can 
now t last 'just popping outside dear' to work on it!

Cheers

Ash
