Thanks Alga for your thought of my own build ,my car will be completed ,just not sure when

cheers

Andy,

We could come to some arrangement I mean I have something you would like and you defiantly have lots of things I want!

I think I am right in thinking Ash would only be interested if I kept hold of the saw until he has built his new workshop, I can’t wait that long


Cheers Ginge
