Now Stan,

There is an idea, we could have house and Pagoda swap :o :o ;D

Not as silly as it sounds, I have swapped my house and modern car many times with people from around the world. Never had any problem.

Hope that everybody noticed the Pagoda SL Group sticker in the corner of the windshield (picture number 3)  :)

Without that detail no restoration should be deemed complete for any seasoned member of the Group ;D
