Good morning Rick
It will be interesting to see the 'restoration' photos. Did you mention to the surgeon that your hobby bears a distinct similarity to his occupation? This basically comes down to repairing/replacing old/damaged or worn out parts so as they can continue to fulfil their original purpose. Also we were carrying out transplants many years before it became popular with humans. They are a little slow off the mark but we won't hold it against them.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave

Will have to share your observation with one of our MV club members who is an or orthopedic surgeon by profession. Does that make him a double threat?

Rick, glad to here on the mend and looking at things being better than before the surgery. Hope you are up and about doing what you want to do, in the very near future.

Cheers Phil

Dave,

When you mention the similarity, the surgeon will probably challenge you to do the same, but next time do it with the engine running!
