did it run across the counter... from my days of helping some one with a set of seats with a VW from Ca we found a not so freindly red back spider.. oh missis...

looks good Helen. SA car what's the floor like... normally very solid but beat to s***

DVLA don't even worry there.. it's the esay bit and i have a mate who is an impector there.. so if you want an off the record chats ( legal mind ) he can point you in the right direction he openly says how bad they are because he knows his cars and his boss 24 yr old didn't even know what an Allego was

typical gov dept!!!

eek!! no i don't think he found anything alive in there

floor pan and everything is A1 as that had all been stripped and sorted out before i bought the car as a rolling shell . engine and all fittings and trim were in boxes.

my mate at Zentrum Notts. if he does half the job he did on re-building my 944S2 engine then i'll be a very happy girl.

exciting times:

Larrys collctng the car from Lee's (in nth Yorkshire) workshop on saturday. its now complete (ish) .

next stage is fitting the engine back in.. now just got to wait for Zentrum to find a slot in their busy diary as we missed the one we had booked

somehow i don't think its going to be ready for Scotland.. but we'll try

with your newly acquired mechanical expertise, refitting the engine should be a breeze

That'd be a shame Helen. I hope you can get it up and running in time for the Highlands. Good Luck.
