Came back from paint last weekend Simon. I was hoping to get it back on Monday as I'm in Birmingham over the weekend but the paint shop had it for 3 weeks so I'm now due to get it back on the 27th. It'll have been there pretty much a straight six months by then but I wouldn't have driven it over this horrible winter so it may as well have sat in the garage. It's at a show at the start of May so hopefully it will be looking good by then. I must say I've missed it even though it has cost a fair few pennies. In the end there was more to do than just a full engine refurb and I'm having a new clutch fitted, as well as 4 new Hella lights and other various bits. It will be a keeper after all this time and money, that's for sure!
Let me know what it looks like if you see it as James has only sent me a few piccies which are like tease shots. What you can see looks marvellous but you can't see the bigger picture.

If I've got time, I'm hoping to drop in on Wednesday. I'd like to see it as it will give me an idea of what mine will look like.

Seeing as it takes so long, I may book mine in for next winter when it would normally be off the road. Knowing it will be getting a spruce up might just mean I'll drive it more than last year.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Mine is getting new engine mounts all round today (at a garage!), if I have time I may even clean the damned thing this weekend!

Decided to fit the electric sunroof rather than just talk about it! Move switch for that and windows back into centre console and make a panel to fit them into the Votex properly.  Should really get the stone chip and lacquer fixed after the farmer giles stone incident as well :sick:
