Hi Bryan,
I must admit I had the accelerated stage one kit which added almost 3k.
I also haven't skimped with the mods, ie finger brakes, fuel gauge, inst
panel, stall warner, strobes, graham Singleton's firewall and rudder
mod, led nav lights (Fred Klien) etc etc. Also had the panel Nexeled and
fitted the instruments. I seem to have spent a kings ransom with Spruce!!
On the up side, My baby ( as the wife calls her ) is nearly ready for
final painting. Hopefully I will be fitting the engine in September.
Sorry no mention of the heated seats and leopard skin curtains!!!
Cheers Danny
