Covin Owner Builder
Keith Woolfenden
Keith has been building his Covin for
a few years now and one thing is certain. It will be a top quality build.
Keith has carried out a full Porsche
944 brake conversion front/rear (see his 944 brake Technical article) plus a
host of other modifications to improve things including designing and fitting
his own home made wiring loom and has wisely seen the advantage of fitting his
radiator in the rear (Lee Thacker take note)
We all hope to see Keiths Covin at
the shows during 2005 so don't let us down Keith.
