    I am feeling your pain with this car Ian, dont want to hi jack your thread but i do need to tell you to keep your chin up, you will get there. One more thing you do need to know, it could be so much worse believe me i speak from experience. Just got my coupe back from the metal work guy after 16 months and the rust and other issues with the body your dealing with are pretty bad but not as bad as it could be.

    Looking forward to watching this thread
    we are up here an we have all the fun drivin doon there

    No wonder you were excited on the phone. Looks like Pete's doing a cracking job, especially, considering what you gave him ! Gutted I missed out on another trip out to see it. Look forward to the next update... Down the boozer
