[quote=""tombs""]Raj, why not get another engine cover and use the painted pieces for show use etc...[/quote]

The covers are hidden away anyway in normal circumstances so no real need to buy a new set, plus storing the others would be a pain.

Well I'm currently sat on 1st class on a Virgin Train heading to London to hopefully put the remainder of her back together and have the gentle drive back up to Wolves.

I bought it off the DVLA website about 3 years ago. £245 at the time.

How strange, when I bought my car it had the same 4 digits as yours but, they wanted an extra £400 on top. Told them I did'nt want as my name ain't Ken. Thanks for the info :thumbsup:

Now over to you Raj.

Lol, sorry paaji.

That's because things didn't quite go to plan and the X is still at SCR and i ended up driving back at 11:30pm in Gie's M3... :?

It was a look long day and we had a couple of problems which we couldn't have foreseen. As it was late and everyone was knackered I just grabbed my jacket and forgot my camera, bag, my Megs DA and all my waxes, etc.

Gutted but oh well.

Damn - hope nothing long lasting fella? Not good when that happens... :cry:

Drop me a PM and let me know when down next - might be able to hook up. Not this weekend though, messy BIL's 40th celebrations in London! :cheers:

N'ah nothing that can't be sorted.

It's all good as I'm a strong believer in kismet, etc so there was a reason I wasn't meant to bring the X back on Saturday.

Will deffo text you when I finalise when everythings sorted and heading down again.

Just caught up with this thread after having a very busy couple of weeks and not being online much at all! WOW! What a great job! Car is looking fantastic mate, definitely a lot of love in that now... leathers look great!

Well done and good negotiation skills... what I like to see being a Quantity Surveyor! Tighten the screws!
