This is where the dilemma really kicks in, I suspect there is too much to do to get her back on the road for this summer along with running the pub. It would be good to meet another Quantum enthusiast so do pop in if you are in the area. That stands as an open invitation to all quantum owners.

Quantum used quite a lot of a something that i think was called core mat in the 2+2 This is a sort of foam material, about 5mm thick and i don't think the resin is intended to soak into it. They lay down quite a few layers of matting, then the core mat and then more layers of matting. I believe
