Having a major catch-up on posts. First chance to log on since last Sunday and can't believe how much has been done - amazeing job so far chaps. Keep us updated when time permits. Looks like a mega amount of hard work mixed with a couple of cans (or is that alot of cans) and a good bit of Esprit bonding thrown in for good measure. Brilliant.

Hello Number Five!

[USAndretti42]

Well I think you're all bloody heroes driving for hours to work all hours on someone elses car. As for Troy, Punky and Smon 350S, I don't know what to say. I guess they must be super heroes.

[Bibs]

After a furious few moments calling around the country we've secured some much needed parts to get the car back on it's feet this weekend.

Thanks to Matk for heading to various dealerships to pick up nuts n bolts early tomorrow and to GKP for heading to wales via Exeter tomorrow morning!!!!!!!

Looks like things are going well guys. Keep up the good work. Loving this thread!

I've just got home and am about to go to bed, but I thought you might like to see some sexy suspenders....

I'll chuck on a load more tomorrow and no doubt there'll be plenty of pics of this weekend's jollyties from everyone else, too. I think I'm looking forward to them....I'm not sure if the two policemen that turned up at 3:30am were as impressed with progress as we are

[dodgy]

well here is another of the chassis , NICE

Troy is looking a little stressed....but look what he is carrying

I wish all coppers were as nice and understanding as the 2 that came around on sunday morning, they asked us if we would mind turning the music down, when Simon asked if we should switch it off - they said NO, down would be fine

if they all were like that , there would be far less trouble in the world

a great weekend and the car is looking Brill

Thanks again to Simon's mom and dad for organising and cooking the sunday dinner roast

Left my camera at home this weekend so no photos from me, but I suspect quite a few to follow from Bibs with his new toy. The car looks superb, highlights for me were watching Simon doing his fire eating! Add my thanks to Simon and his parents for making us all feel so welcome.

P.S. I'm still hungover!

Hey All

[Simon350S]

ohh... just forgot.....

Fan

Also need to confirm this is the correct item..... we broke one of the fan blades whilst trying to remove it....

Obviously the condition of this item is unknown, if anyone has one lying around let us know....

Cheers
