Had forgotten I had seen those pics Gav. Thats a fantastic job you are doing. I only wish I had the wherewithall to do my car to that standard myself. Much more satisfying in my book.

Well done sir :thumbright:

Thanks for the kind comments guys, trying to get some more progress made!

Well Steve if your mate gets on the road soon then maybe he's made the right choice!!
Anyway, I'm still having fun doing it, I spent a whole day on it, (first for a while as mentioned, though plenty of hours here and there) and it was very theraputic to get away from the daily grind!
Working on getting the dash sorted.

What is scaring me right now is that I posted that a YEAR ago :shock: :shock:
I don't think I have a years progress to show :oops:

I did have to take a back seat for a few months at the begining of the year (I was still working on it but not as much as I'd have liked), but anyway, there has def been progress.

I'll have to gather together some pics and update the post!!

...a year.... wow.....

Sorry guys, every time I start to pull an update together something else comes along to get in the way....come to think of it the same thing happens to the car!

I really will try to update soon!! As some of you are aware we have got twins on the way in a few months, and the alternative pulls on my time have been streadily ramping up, as many of you experienced in such matters will know. :shock: Of course, that is nothing to what will happen when they arrive, so I have been desperately trying to work on the car.....with sporadic success.....

Anyway, watch this space, keep nagging if you don't see anything, and thank you for the interest, I appreciate it!
