***10 weeks***

Oh no, and we have so much to do......

All the best for tomorrow Ash, we all have our fingers crossed - i'm sure everything will be okay. After seeing the last pic of your at Exeter show it does look fantastic. Mine used to look like that but after 4000 miles it doesn't anymore - must get it all cleaned up for the Spring.

If you need a hand with anything Mark just give a shout, it is not a problem, just to see you get through IVA would be satisfying enough.

Just putting Handys poly bushes in this afternoon and setting up his suspension. Tomorrow his electrics will be done and car running, he's getting there to.

Good to hear handy is making some good progress, i may pop in to see you this afternoon when i finish work and bring your rivnut tool back with its new mandrel i broke yours aswell as mine

The replacement part only cost £3 delivered so not bad, i was only using it by hand too. The guy at cheapest rivnuts said i must have hand like a gorrilla

Then everyone will do it themselves instead of buying it from us..... Only joking. No problem anybody coming along at any time, there's always plenty going on - as the 12 hour days would suggest...

We've talked about when the warm weather comes is every other Saturday to have a bbq morning open day where local builders can come along or bring their cars along, have a blast out and some fun and food.

Cheers...AndyH
