Matt - No, insurance didnt get sorted so had to cancel the car.

Paul - With regard to the respray, if it means taking her off the road for a couple of weeks, I could always borrow my bro's Escort Bonus 90 for a bit cos he still hasn't made any attempt to pass his test, i'll just have to weara a balaclava so no one recognises me! lol

I am swayed more towards doing the whole thing, think i'll have a chat with my mate to see what the difference in cost will be to do it.
