thanks for the kind comments folks
car no longer for sale-partly due to the timewaster from hell...no time for them tbh
secondly due to the fact it was a reluctant sale in the first place-was in two minds
will keep and improve on any wee bits and bobs needing doing for use next year-have a magnex type stainless copy of original exhaust to fit and will get the few wee dings in the bonnet addressed etc-maybe detail underneath,although its so original that would be a shame.
