Welcome to the club m8 and thanks for posting a great series of pics. Its always good to see someone taking such a keen interest in getting their Four back on the road.

We are a friendly bunch and if you live anywhere in the south it would be good to catch up at a meet. We also have regular weekday dinner meets alternating around different venues to the south and west of London down to Southampton. There are a couple being organised by JP on the forum at the moment.
