I've never been to Watford Gap. Is there a bridge over it yet?

Hi all,
I too placed a deposit on an LB Stratos a couple of months ago and am patiently waiting for the 12-18 months waiting list to tick by! Like Dan I am filled with excitement and terror, usually in equal measures but depending on whatever thread I've read on the day the realisation of the size of the task I've given myself and the minefield of obstacles that will have to be deftly navigated!!! I have always drooled over the Stratos ever since I was a young boy so this will be the realisation of a lifelong dream, a massive challenge and a massive achievement. I consider myself to be fairly competent on the spanners but I know I'm no auto engineer and this will be a very steep learner curve (near vertical at times). I've recently managed to source a 166 3.0l donor car and am researching engine extraction and parts strip requirements. I'm also looking at the dual mass to single mass flywheel conversion and would appreciate any advice on offer.
Hi Dan,
I live only a couple of miles from Eastwood so would be interested to keep in touch and compare notes.
Cheers
Steve

Dan, Steve,
I have a Garage Day on 15th September in Buxton Derbyshire, you are both welcome to come along and chat to other members of the group. I have a LB Stradale which went on the road last November and as you say there is a lot to learn.

Another Nottingham LB - there is definitely something odd going on here . Does Craig advertise on the side of local buses by any chance?
Steve I live in Derby (Chellaston) so not far and picking my chassis up next week. Your more than welcome to pop over and have a look and discuss / view things from the beginning of the build journey.

Hi Bernard,
how come 2 Hawks!!! What engines/spec do they run? If they are Alfa 3.0 I would definitely be interested thanks.
