was the courier a good price, that interiors great! looks amazing how much you pay for it.

by the way have you tried mini spares for a sports steering rack? if not give em a ring

nice to see someone getting stuck in to a project, great progress for 7 days keep it up :-

The courier wasn't a bad price £90 and he collected and delivered it in the same day but he did have a collection in Middlesbrough hence the cheap price! Although he did have to drive to Berkshire from South Wales to collect it ! The interior cost £450 icluding all 4 door cards and genuine 1 peice carpet so it was not too bad :-

As for the progress im making well its just a case of getting stuck in with Lisa passing her test just over a week ago she has managed to go through 3 tanks of petrol and i never see Grover anymore ;) So in a way it has given me more drive to get hers done quicker so i can get Grover back in safe hands ;) (I never really said that ) :fear:

Ill give mini spares a bell on the rack have you any idea's of cost for 1 ???
