Blimey that's a lot of work. But the result is a perfect looking car, exactly what I would do - or exactly what I would buy if I had the money! Great price considering some of the stuff that's been for sale recently / is still for sale.

That’s a beautiful looking car and is a credit to you. Do you have any interior photos? Might help the cause.
