Hi Guys

Yes it was me that sold the shell back to Spadge with the bits I had left over form the GRP A rally car I bought at the end of last year.

RichardPON and Spadge thank you both for your nice comments about me, its a pleasure to exchange projects with decent people. Spadge you don't waste much time! Tony thanks for your note also. I can't believe what a small world it is with a cosworth.

To answer the "why" question that people are asking, ie why did I build most of it and then give up, there is a simple response. I had the parts lying around as they were left over from my escort cosworth project, I intended to sell them in February.

I went on a big snowboarding trip in northern Canada (helicopter boarding all off piste etc) in early February, ran in to a tree and badly broke my upper leg and hip, I have been on crutches etc for 4 months. Over the last 6 weeks I wanted something to take away the boredom whist I was hopping around the house. I saw the shell advertised by Spadge and did the deal to give me something to do with my time.

I am now walking again albeit with a limp and I have gone back to work (5 months off). The engine for my escort project and all the body panels have just been delivered and thus the escort is getting my attention. I had no further need for the sapphire and so I advertised it. It has been in the way the last few days and so I reduced the price and Spadge is the new owner.

Regards
Bob
