Default Out of hibernation

Last weekend the 555 was finally removed from storage



The car is now in the hands of Barry ( badbaz ) who will be carrying out all the work.

This weekend he started removing some bits and pieces.

Gotta agree with tweaks, this is also one of my favourites. I love those Ap's kinda regret not getting a set from GGR myself. What are your plans for the engine Paul?
