Default inspiration! (sorry another thread!)

hey guys, as you can probably tell from the title, im a little short of it!
been working away past few nights, slowy.. getting my bulkhead pannels to fit and my steering column support tacked on, i think i may have cocked up a tiny bit somewhere but it can be sorted. i just need some of that good ol spirit back! even got me thinking to sell up! now what would be the point of that! this far and what..

would be handy if any guys near by has a car in a better shape than mine at the moment to get me more enthusiatic!

Any way rant mode off!

any cheer ups will be greatly appreciated!

If you are up this way ....pop in again , am sure a little spin could be arranged , or maybe go & see Spud for a spin in his Roadster, he doesn,t need an excuse to go & play

Do you need any new chassis tubes? just with your reference to tacking on the steering column support, if you need some new bits cutting, just shout & I,ll send them down to you FOC

cheers
