Do worry about the ugly duckling status. I've already taken that. Most of my interior is missing and I need to sort the wheels. I think we would all rather seen scruffy cars that get driven than garage queens!

Keep up the good work. With all the effort you have put in so far it would be good to see you and the car there.
