Hello Christian.

Yes that is the one. Hope that I can do it justice.
Will take my time and seek help off people who know what they are talking about.This model as got a bit of history about it so it deserves to be rebuilt to the best of standards.
Will keep in touch with you.
Regards Peter.

The hardest thing will be the surface preparation with fine (say 320G) wet or dry with all the fittings on, and all the masking...
