About Me

Paul Slack: Sheffield, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom; I have a modest set of workshop tools and a great deal of patience. Both are stretched to the extreme when attempting to re-create what took Innocenti years to perfect.

I hope this blog inspires other builders to have a go themselves. I'd be happy to try to answer any questions and even happier to hear any tips or interesting stories you have about your build.
