    Come on mate, get her on the road whilst we still have a chance of nice weather (unlike today), it would be great to get some pictures of our cars together!!

    Thanks guys, really enjoyed doing it.

    Next was the mirrors.Found that the N/S mirror motors weren't working properly, on investigation it turned out to be the 2 plastic rack & ball pieces that had broken.Of course they nor the motor assy was available from Ferrari.After delving into it a bit deeper I found that the same number was used on Porsche 924/944, did a quick ebay search on mirror motors that brought up loads that were virtually the same.That then got me looking at the cars I had around me and low and behold the same motor assy was used in the old XJ40 saloon I had rotting away in the corner :D wiring was slightly different but the mechanics were identical and the rack & ball parts were intact.As you can see I managed to make a good one from the two.
