Its been a good little (big) project, some of it a bit over my head but luckily me dad knows his stuff :)
Believe me I dont plan to take on another one for quite some while! :shock: :D

It had its MOT on Friday and only failed on the rear brakes/handbrake cable and front wishbones - All should be fixed tomorrow and a certificate printed.

Then the new owner can collect and register it :)

Well done Alfajack!!!!
You did a really nice work.

[Brul(tm)]

Indeed, wonderful job :)
You also have a very nice garage to do the job, nice and lots of space.

Greetings,
Marc

Many thanks.

I ended up really taking my time with it, I bought in December 2005 but didnt work in it for months and months, and even then I really took my time!

Not sure I want to do another any time soon though :shock:

[Humour]

a job well done there AJ :shock: I have to admit looking at the pics I did wonder how the hell its all going to go back in without a hitch. Credit where credit is due :wink:

So who is the lucky new owner then? Do tell :D

[AlfaJack]

Its Mr Pavs! :D
