Anyway back on topic nice working environment, it must be so satisfying to have the tools and time to do this kind of work properly.

Lovely workshop. Presume that's for the mechanical work.

Does the bodyshop look as good?

I winced when I saw that crashed aluminium E-Type! That is a very famous car, are you going to fix it?

Beautiful GT40 and a lovely workshop too!
