The garage is the reason ive been waiting so long to start it, waiting for bloody builders to finish it 
I know the car was pretty mint before i started, there aint many 3drs
left with original paint, panels etc that are used properly but there a few
marks on it now and as im changing engine etc i thought i just aswell
go right through it.
Like stretch said if i wanted to i could have it done by spring next year
but i want a break from car scene for a year so no rush
Cheers for comments guys and i keep pics coming
