    Benn where do you get your paint done?
    I'm looking for a decent bodyshop and I know your not too far away from me.
    Car looks great by the way, I really do need to find a few evenings to go through this whole thread.

    I'd love a unit. But stuff around here is mega money. I'll like to mod the house to make it a double garage tho.

    Station Bodyshop in Fareham.
    They've done it since the start and i used to work there. They are great with work, but shit on time keeping. Very in there too, so there always seems to be a wait.

    Hope you enjoy the read.

    Yeah the work looks spot on and I think all bodyshops seem to underestimate how long a job will take. I'll look them up and try and get a quote.
    Cheers mate.

    Not worth building one, shells and parts have become so expensive I'd rather buy a car that's us able and won't also breakdown as much

    Great work as always Benn. Any pictures of where your coil is located?
    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”

    Sadly not. Still missing/bogging down and being a bastard.
    Coil was fitting on to the top of the gearbox (good ground just incase) and a ok king lead. Looked shit and did nothing!
    Drove to PVS with no speedo, no 6th gear and it missing, popping and banging. WASNT fun.
