right, car is booked in to my local body shop (cheap and cheerful) he is going to smooth and respray the tailgate but leave the lock on, also i am having the passenger door resprayed as tin worm is comming through and also having the ding in the passenger wing sorted! says he will do it all for £250 which i dont think is too bad!  :undecided: will post some pics once i get it back!  :smiley:

well the car has been going fine, had a new clutch fitted so all is well there! speedo has stopped working but the cable is only 20 quid so will get round to that soon! looking at selling the car but had no interest so might keep her a bit longer!  :tongue:  :grin:

right bit of an update! thomo320 aka big paul came down with a replacement box,  alternator and starter for the old gal! All went pritty well until it came to putting the drive shafts back on, at which point we found out that the shafts on my car are 100m and the new box takes the 90mm type! so have had to leave it until we sort out the right drive shafts but after that all should be well again! well for a few days anyway!   :rolleyes: :tongue:
