In the thread about "engine removal - not budging" I saw a comment about the passing of Erick Van Sickle. Those outside the North East may not know it but Erik was a life long British car enthusiast. So much so that for over more than 4 decades he was the proprietor & driving force of Leyland British Auto in Arundel ME where he did everything from your basic oil change to full restorations. I've attached a link to his business site for those who may be interested to see the work he did and the following he had. Do check out the GALLERY section, both "Restorations" and "Road Rally" for dozens of photos of Erik's work; he was truly a gifted & talented man. I'd been up to his shop a few times over the years and was always amazed at the extend of his abilities & knowledge; if it was British, he was the man for the job.
