Full credit to you fella. The car looks fantastic and totally different to the last time I saw it. New coat be bu**ered.

Looks like you may suddenly become a very busy boy indeed and pigs in this country can watch out, I hear the slaughter houses calling. We should maybe do a hog-roast in Scotland soon. Proper Overhaulling style.

Thanks Ian,
my back gardens big enough to roast a hog or 2 anyways (anyone got a piggy the dont like! :twisted: )

Im "reasonably" pleased with the way its turned out, could have been better if 'someone :roll: ' wasnt so impatient to get it back on the road.
cant blame him though.
Not bad going though, 3 weeks in between other (paying!) work

Matey's off to work and wants the car ready for the Glasgow cruise tonight so i have to do:
1, finish flattening / polishing/wax
2 fit all the glass and rubbers
3 paint and fit the full dash
4 paint window surrounds and door checks
5 decals
6 fit the lights
7 fit passenger seat
8 bolt cage up after glass goes back in
9 bonnet and boot pins
10 mudflaps front and rear
11 underseal arches
12 fit new rocker cover gasket
13 adjust tappets again

ALL BEFORE 8.30PM !

in between Ive 2 spoilers to fit to customers cars, paint an ABT AUDI TT
HAVE LUNCH (NO CHANCE)

the joys of parenthood :evil: :shock: :cry:

Maybe the joys of parenthood, but soon the joys of friendship, I'm on my way mate. Perhaps you could come up with some designs for my pick up and 4-door hb. By the way, are you still looking for an HB estate, cos the one on the isle of white needs shifting soon. Current price is £420. The car is worth the money and definately worth all costs involved once you have done your magic?

PM me with your telephone number and I will put you in touch with the owner.

Ian.
