Back from her maiden drive. Beautifully tight rattle free, goes nice. AOD is a bit cluncky seems to hold gears and shift hard on the up shifts but seemed to get better with miles, converter is a bit Flarey. Need knock a bit of timing out of it, on the whole it drives well just needs good alignment and the auto played with.

Yep - they’re an updated version of an old favourite - finished off nicely with wheel caps by LeeH69.

She’s certainly come a long way from the rust bucket i trailered to SP’s place.

Cheers

Fixed! You might have to do a shift-refresh to make sure it loads the new javascript.

Look at you showing off with your working engine and all :-)

The TV cable on the AOD might be a little over tight if the shifts don't settle down.

It looks really good and of course blue is the best colour!!!
