hi mate

i couldnt bring myself to cut this mint shell. besides IIRC the floor plan is slightly different to the coupes.

ive decided to hang on a while, im off to the scrappers tomorrow to get the bits i require to finish it. ill see if i can get it fixed and then see it it will pass the MOT.

sorry to waste your time like this lads, i got to thinking that i am giving up too easily and with the weather we having......

Couldn\'t find an FC with this music - but you get the sentiment all the same - a day like yesterday is why you should not sell a convertible ;)

haha how did you know that i LOVE that tune!!! im sure its the tune that guy is listening to while driving his ferrari at the start of the original italian job film?!

yeah i know what you mean Prof, i seen all these people out in cabrios yesterday and i got jealous, while i was sat frying in my bloody hot as hell FD (you wont believe how hot it gets in an FD).

i got my clutch master now from the breakers then its simply a matter of fitting all the interior and tidying up the electrics fixing quite a few other things (lol) and getting it MOT\'d.

the only problem there is finding the time to do it!

Yeah the music reminds me of the italian job too. Although just for the record its not a ferrari he is driving it a lamborghini Miura. I hate it when people get that wrong! (im so sad!)
Good choice to keep the car insted of breaking it by the way T2N
I don\'t need to upgrade my stock turbo to beat your ass!

Get your finger out, get it on the road and start driving it then!!! (B.Martin 25/2/12)

Man thats a nice car. Totally floored in its design but all good super cars are in some way or other. Still can\'t believe that they destroyed it.

lol adereed sorry bout that!

ive decided that when i get it on the road ill make a film of my first drive. just hope that i dont end up in a big fireball like the guy on film.... im gonna equip the car with a fire extinguisher just in case of that rewiring job i did!!!

wouldnt it be ace if we organised an MRC drive to another country and back - those kind of roads look much better to me than the nurbergring.  you know made a proper holiday of it or something....
