Just so as people don't believe I've given up, the good news now is that David and I have had a meaningful conversation and we are both happy that the car will be finished by the summer of 2015. If anyone thinks that reincarnating an original from "a few old parts" is easy, then think again. It's taken twice as long and cost me three times more than ever anticipated, but it will be completed and I shall illustrate that completion here for most to enjoy. Best.. Andrew
