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.

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

Greetings,
Marc

My God! Amazing job really!!

How much time did the whole project take you?

Impressive pictures of the engine and its restoring process.

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:

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

Its Mr Pavs! :D

i was just wondering how you were getting on with that other car covered in snow.

i see its done dusted and sold already! ... Well done matey.
