well time for me to start my thread on the above,having had Beef persuade me to do a restoration on my car last year after coming down to remove the running gear etc from the underside of it with me (more him than me to be fair)
it soon became obvious i didnt have the time,tools required or most certainley the skill (this was apparent after getting to know special k and seeing what he is able to do).I asked Spesh if he would take it on which he duly told me to "feck off"...nah he said yup
a date was set last week to come and collect it early this morning
now i have to apologise for the 90`s styling this is all gonna change..
what it looked like (not sure about grill being carbon i aint gonna throw it away)
before i forget just want to say thanks to Beef,Spesh & Graham for today top lads cheesr chaps![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)

Was a little concerned my orriginal tail lights were no good but I dug them out and was pleasantly surprised how good they were....
At one point I thought I'd have to buy some more,but it looks like I was wrong about them or I more likely had bought some but just forgot.......
