[@robertevans3604]

Sorry about the loss of your Queen. I really admired Her. God Save the King now.

[@carlhobson1578]

It’s those little victories that keep you going!

[@Mk2Mitch]

Couldn't agree more! 👌🏻

[@danwedderburn5550]

I converted 2 LHD escorts to RHD in the 1980`s, one black RS2000 Custom & one flat front 2 door shell that i built into a rally car. Easy job in the day to be honest when parts were plentiful.
