Hello Nick,
How are you??? I heard it was great fun in Germany. Could not come cos we where in Rome, So what are you up to now? Is the Westy ready? From the photos its looking really sweet both on the outside and on the inside.
Ehh when you get some time send me your email address cos I have some pics for you.
So see you around,
Regards
Alex

Hi Nick - youve been busy I see. Its a great feeling when all the electrics come back to life. Any luck in sourcing an engine yet? I still have a modern 1200 if youre desperate - its complete and ready to bolt up.
Look forward to seeing the westi soon.

Phill.
