Lots of stories. Over 3 years I gradually brought it together with 2 engine rebuilds (yes the valve heads do break off at 120kph), nice paint job (1200RMB), new roof that obviously didn't get used much and a bootful of ICE - 7 speakers and 3 amps.more>

Reccommend them to anyone?

You need to be an enthusiast. It's no good thinking a garage can solve all these problems as they need to be persuaded that you aren't joking first.

And the doors sometimes fly open by themselves. more>

Where is it now?

Alive and well and living with Ian, as in www.myredstar.com , in Qingdao. It still runs and he still talks to me (mainly to tell me what fell off each week)...more>
