Paul, im very sorry to hear about your father, its always saddening to hear such news. I hope you and your family are managing to cope ok.
Good news about the car and would love to see it in person some day
I do alot of detailing work so if you ever need the car looked at for some TLC let me know, I know im a bit of a trek away though
Keep strong!
I got my zetec head going up to Ian this week hopefully for hiim to build up and work his magic on! Are you still helping him out with bits?
