Absolutely! That's what I'm doing in my garden.
The less gardening I have to do, the more I can play, sorry work, on my cars!

Well the garage is now done and two cars are safe inside.
Now all I need is the motivation to put the coupe back together!

Since it has been a month since I last posted anything - a little update.
The lights and bumpers are now back on the car, what a job wiring them up! The engine is now out for a bit of TLC (its using/losing way too much oil) and so I can rip out the old crappy firewall and put some insulation in. Might be pleasant to drive with some insulation in as well!

I said I would post some pics shortly and here they are. Whats 3 months between friends anyway?

The sound deadening is now installed and the head lining is almost there. I have also installed a new firewall as the old one was a piece of s**t.

I have also had to repair the bonnet around the catch on the cabriolet. This is because a previous owner has broken a bolt in the captive nut and then broken a drill bit trying to drill it out! They then drilled a new hole adapted a catch so that it would fit. Only problem with the new catch was that there was no safety hook! The old nut had to be removed completely and replaced by a new one. The dodgy hole (as well as another one which just appeared while we were working on it) was then welded up and has now been painted.

Just a quick up date on my car:
Headlining is now done, carpets are back in (will have to get new ones at some time), seats are almost back in (should be done by the end of this weekend) and the glass is done.
All I have to do is finish the external trim and put the doors back together. I hope I'm going to be ready for the International which is in 5 1/2 weeks time!
All I need is an engine, Paul. Then I can get an MOT etc.

Helen, you have no faith.
If I can travel around Germany in car with badly adjusted valve gaps and leaky fuel pump one year and drive to Venice with a very leaky engine another, then Denmark should be easy.
Hell, when we went to the International in Belgium I only got the car working properly the morning we were leaving!
