Van tactic another saved... good luck and enjoy.... best advice is
'don't get frustrated walk away.. always something else can be done...'
cheers, I've been frustrated alright and impatient loads, but yeah your right the key is to give a break and do something else that needs done or go to car show that usual kicks it back in

tied in the healboard and towboard in and fitted new strengthening plates for the front subframe in 4mm plate this later will be a bad move as i bought poly bush subframe mounts and the bolt bracket bolts aren't long enough to go through the plate and mount so i had to fit standard ones (lesson learnt)

I think this is the case with most restorations! I know it certainly is with mine
