8) Hi Rob, have you got her back then?, if you get it back for less than a grand you have done really well! :wink: , Ken spent a lot of money on that little car, i repainted the complete back end including in the boot area, she had a new bootlid, new nearside door, new offside sill and springhanger, screens were taken out so all around the rear windows and the front screen are now rust free, with new rubbers too!, i cut down a couple of van rear bumpers to make the rear look a bit different for him, and fitted a brand new 1300 front grille. The complete back end, nearside door and both sills are all finished in ICI 2K to a high standard, all she needs to finish is the front end and drivers door and you will have a really clean motor! :wink:

Cheers Frank.

I was really disappointed that I couldn't afford her when Ken was selling her.
I made him promise to give me first dibs and then I felt like I let him down but I just couldnt swing the funds...

She was tidy (ish) when I had her so I'm sure she'll be in fine fettle now.
Shame she's run out of test... can't be too difficult to get her back on the road tho ;)

Cheers for your wisheseveryone.
Not heard back yet... soon I hope !

Rob
