Best of luck Friday with the collection of the new Sportline. Hope all goes to plan.
Thanks Hugh
I'm sure it will be fine, I must admit to being a bit nervous on seeing the car, just because it looks so clean in the pics that I got from Lewis, I am hoping its as good in the metal :-)

Some more goodies arrived.
Thanks to Shughy fit the new gear knob and top rad card, great quality rad card Hugh :-)
The front number plate holder arrived from Germany as well but its dark blue not black - my bad :-(
So asked Hibbs for his black one and I will keep the blue one as a spare and spray it up if reqd.

Chris what way you heading up North tomorrow? If you're going up the A1 I'm at Stamford, just off the A1 (PE9)
Let me know, I'm off work and about tomorrow if you need a pit stop

Well I am in Manchester with my new purchase
All went well travel wise apart from the London and M6 traffic !!!!
The car does need a bit of paint, boot, both bumpers and drivers half door and drivers half rear quarter.
The roof is spot on and the interior is fine.
The manifold which needs replaced makes low speed driving interesting, so that will be first, then body shop for a estimate and find out how much actually needs painted.
The price was mutually beneficial and overall I'm delighted.
Big thanks to Watson and Smudger who came and met me in London.

Dry and now I'm getting wet from the inside courtesy of Budweiser.
Andy i am chuffed as its far more of a project than my red one was, as that was and is a great condition but I will try and get black or to the best standard I can :-)
