Did I read this right? You've had a major business failure but you're in a position to build a 40? That's a failure I want sometime. Hope all goes well with the build-up.
Welcome. It won't take you long to realise that some of the guys on here spend mega bucks doing up their 40's. We're lucky, we can pick 'em up pretty cheap, parts are everywhere and there's plenty of mechanics familiar with them. Life's Good! x2 on the search button as some guys on here get a...

Not my FJ45 (got pic off ebay)
