Hi Paul
What a great project, when do you expect it to be finished and on the road.
I was in Cameron Audi body shop about 6 weeks ago and they had a +2 bodyshell stripped down ready for painting, was that yours?

Yep, that was mine, they have got a very good reputation for painting, so we decided to try it with them, after the fiasco with the last bunch!

Target is to have it finished and on the road by easter!.............2012.

Hopefully about three weeks, just waiting to get it back from the trimmers!

Looking forward to it, but not looking forward to the old fashioned need to run a new engine in!!

Hot news, and mega thread resurrection!

Said beast is getting MOT'd tomorrow, so hope fully near the end of its 4 year restoration!!!

I hope I am going to like it after all that time ( and money, but don't tell Verona!)
