Welcome to the forum. Looks like a good basis for a restoration as it all appears to be there so you at least have patterns. I cant see an engine lid though, do you have that as the chances of finding one now are probably nil.
As I said to you at Cardiff my Waverider Mustang was supposed to be a quick project which ended up taking 3 years so don't underestimate the time it could take but enjoy the journey!
Have you decided on a name for it yet?!!!!!!
Best of luck
Dave

Hiya Dave, yes don't worry, I've got the engine cover for it, it's just not in the photo's. As for underestimating it well, the last one took me six years! The work only took about a year but the rest of the time was taken up with trying to find the cash to do it, so this one could take a while!
A name, hmmmm, well I was thinking something along the lines of the last one, "Slap Ed" plus it kinda goes along with my hair style nowadays.
Not so sure the mrs is gonna let me do it though so we'll have to see.

I don't know if you "Shakey" enthusiasts ever look on Marktplaats - the dutch boat auction site - but always plenty of good boats for sale - how about this one - 120kph, also a rare Inboard Caribbean w/w wing
