8 months isnt long matt lol hope all the mechanical side goes ok for you, so you get a bit of trouble free motoring with it.

its a labour of love in many ways, no sane person would be out there boogering round with a 15 year old pile of metal, getting covered in crap, when they could be down the pub or taking there families out etc, so i guess a majority of us on here have either lost the plot or are just sad individuals with nothing better to do:lol:
with me i just put it down to a midlife crisis, thats my excuse anyway!

get some photos of the car up, will be good to see what you have done so far!
