Good things come to those who wait! :). I'm also going to be at L2B this year, so you can get a cheeky first look at the wellers im refurbing, great car by the way! :genius:


if its done by this weekend, it leaves me only 3 weeks to build it up from a bare shell, having 11days off over easter will help no end, saying that, i got nothing to worry about as long as its back in my hands before then! got everything refurbed ready to go on, so alls sweet! :unsure:

yeah nick, if id of done more of the prep work myself, it prob would of been quicker into paint, but i didnt have time to prep it fully myself, would of gone over my deadline n missed L2B

cheers for the offer woodenman, but having the easter bank holiday and the royal wedding thingy coming up, ive managed to blag the 3 days off work in between so got 11 whole days to get it back together! so i should be fine, just hope it is painted for when my painter says!

Hope the car gets back from paint soon for you. I know what it's like trying to get things done so close to the wire. Tiring but a great sense of achievement..!
