I have come to the conclusion you have far too much time, money and most jealous of all, space.

Hear hear!
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

That's a minter compared to mine! But I bet you paid more than £50
We seem to have a familiar taste in cars

was £300
but that came with a set of period accurate original seats that cost the previous owner £300 on their own
he didnt want to sell it but his wife made him so i jumped at the opportunity.
i had it running within the day and after fitting a throttle cable ive had it driving and it all works surprisingly well
all it needs is floor pans and heater channels replacing and it will be practically done(apart from the birds nest wiring thats in it

)
