Right I'm in a really good mood today :grin:

I been struggling of late with a feeling of no direction as I didn't know if I was going to paint the car before putting in the kit or vice versa!!

Have managed to find a bodyshop of excellent quality that have quoted me about half the price of my next best quote!!!! :grin:

He's also happy to do it with the car on it's wheels.

So finally over the next 4 weeks I shall be aiming to get the interior (carpet roof lining etc) in, the front subframe bolted up, steering rack and column in, Engine into the kit and then kit into the car :grin:

Will keep taking pics when more exciting stuff happens :cheese:
