    this is the last pic he posted in his swedish thread



    did it go off for welding everything back up?
    did he give up and sent if off for scrap in disgust?
    will he go back and save his beloved B3 to give it the engine it deserves?

    all we can do is stay tuned and hope.

    lamenting the fact that my work blocks all pictures. Sending link to the house to view!

    Sounds like a truly insane project, and can't wait to see the results!
