Evening all,
Well the old man has finally finished his little resto project so I thought it was time to show her off and see what people thought?
She hadn't been driven in 14 years and after some love, care, affection and a lot of cash and swearing later (about 18 months i think) the MoT was booked and......... well it made it to the first Poole Quay night so although the weather was rubbish the car passed so it didn't really matter that much.
Here is the picture the day before collection:-
And how she's sitting now:-
I hope you liked and thanks for looking

Thanks for the kind words peeps, the old man will be pleased; despite me saying how good it looks he's never happy and wishes he'd done a few things differently and taken a little more time on bits here and there, but its a vast improvement and allllllllmost 100% complete - The initial road test/s have revealed a few teething problems and a few adjustments are needed.
P.S. The pictures are OK I guess

Ok, so maybe it wasn't as bad as it looks in the pictures....... I just prefer the "moody" shots over summer ones and the contrast between the bright / shiny and darness looked nice; don't get me wrong though it was still far from sunny or hot though!
