Very cool.  Our site was mentioned at the bottom of the article.  So, is Roy Koch a member here?

Nice article. I'm not real familiar with F3, but I'm about to learn more. I just had one dropped off at my shop. Nice shape, but it suffers from all the "been sitting in a shed" maladies. Sixteen thousand miles, seized calipers, dirty carbs, melted fuse box, rusted clutch cable.......I think it will turn out pretty nice though.

Don't forget to check the valve guides ESPECIALLY the exhaust and yes they could be worn out at only 16,000
