I'll PM you Graeme.

[Sir Cheat]

Any news on this? Whats happend......

[Juju]

What's happened?

Juju's been waiting for the guy who is supposed to be panelling him up to do exactly that.

Only it hasn't happened.

And he's advertising on here for more work.....

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

There is some breakdown in communication here.Juju. The guy who was meant to panel the car, Larry, has received no panels or instructions to carry out the work from Mike. As soon as he has the panels and firm instructions, work can commence. He has been asking for the panels for months and, to date, has been ignored.

All the panels are ready to go. I'll take out the middleman & speak to him direct. I just left him a message on his answer phone. Here's hoping...

[Juju]

We just spoke.

Hopefully this will get things moving again.

Update.

Well, since April 2010, there has been much upset over this project.

Upset for many parties involved, but no progress.

Today, Tommy's shell is being transferred to another body shop, and work will (finally) begin tomorrow.

Will 2011 be the year of the GT?? Will I finally have a working clubbie??!!

Let's hope so.

Rock on Tommy

I'm sure 2011 will see Tommy terrorising the streets of Surrey. The timing will work well, the panel work done whilst the weather is grotty giving you the lovely warm (?) spring and summer late night to put him together.

Plus ours will be out this year, so it must be GT year!

[nightflier]

And even Nipper might join you!

Doubt he'll be ready by then. Plobly too soon, but we shall see.

If he's on the road in time for July, I shall be well chuffed. We have a big speshul family & friends type do to organise & celebrate. Tommy's presence there would be ace!

Don't rush it Juju, you'll only regret it.
To be honest the putting back together is easy and satisfying, the problem is that every part you pick up will end up being cleaned, painted, polished etc and that is what takes the time!

Too right, Mr C. Too right.

The bodyshell is actually taking time now.

Post 'blasting for the second time it's taking a lot of rubbing down. It's the biggest job this bodyshop have ever done (weird considering he's a min-min & they're used to working on SUVs... ), so they are being meticulous & doing panel-by-panel.

Last time I saw, he had a new floor in one footwell, new sill down one side no front wings and rather neat holes cut in the boot floor. It's all coming along nicely now.

And I have found him a garage to live in too. (Thanks to Mr Scallywag!)
