"I never thought I would enjoy posting the journey as much as I do, I thought it would be quite trying but in fact the reverse. Very satisfying to share the ups and downs of this adventure with all enthusiasts here with varying levels of knowledge resulting in many useful thoughts and opinions, but all bonded by a common love of the Marque"

I love the fact that I knew that was an "LM" before even clicking on the build thread. My Ferrari love runs deep, lol.

"This was, like everything else, not a stock item, but being a magnesium casting was not viable to be made in a series of one. We were however very fortunate to be able to piggyback on an order from the Sultan Of Brunei who purely coincidentally had to replace two of his on his LM’s which have rotted away in the humidity of their non air conditioned storage and needed replacement."

oh sure, you, me, the Sultan Of Brunei, all good buddies :P

I love how anal this restoration is getting. Looks like something I would do given the time and money. At least I get to stick to scale models....

That little jab at it not being a "TV show hack job" was great, too.
