Hi John

I didn't want it to look new ,,but once you get new body panels, then new paint, the wheels which once looked nice with just a bit of kerbing etc actually look rubbish so you get them re anodised and of course spend another grand on tyres

Then you come to fit the lovely original interior which on reflection smells of old cigarettes and you realise that something four legged has once lived on or in it and the slightly worn .....ok burnt and brittle texan leather looks crap as does the dashtop so you get that sorted too

And so the list goes on ........

I have kept some original parts so it's not all new ,,, and I plan to add patina buy using it plenty

Thanks for all the kind words guys ,,, it helps when motivation is low !
