Cheers for the posts Guys!!

Spyder, Powercruise would be good, what are you doing for the next 4 weeks?? :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mick Jagger, "Back in Black" sounds 8) 8)

As for the "Car Bra" .... no way! It is being done to be driven AND seen, I have seen the damage these things can do to paintwork :shock: :shock: :shock:

Here are some parts back in the shed ready for the "arrival", the new bushes, balljoints etc are fitted to the front end.
