I'm absolutely horrified to see this.

This is one of the few cars I've actually been able to see in the metal and although it wasn't to my personal tastes it was very very clear to me how much time and effort had been put in to it, it was obviously well loved by its owner.

I can't begin to imagine how I would feel if this happened to Elliot when she was finished so I can only speculate how Andy must be feeling.

If I spot anything, I shall post it.

Thats terrible - would be like losing a kid to me :( (but seeing as how im 17 i dont have any kids, so thats abit irrelevent :( )

I pretty sure theres nothing i can do to help, as Andy looks much more skilled in mini restos than me, but if there is, im more than willing to :)
