Whilst I am not an American car fan normally, (although a car is a car is a car & this forum is great because of the diversity of projects, ) I have to say that I have really enjoyed reading your thread and your progress, It's been great for the informative content combined with a very enjoyable, comical style, The car is now looking stunning and I can't wait to see the finished article, Shame about the w*nkers who can't keep their thieving hands to themselves, Looking forward to seeing future updates, Nigel

Hi Mark, Just wanted to say thank you, I've seen this thread many times but not looked into it as hotrods are not (normally) my kind of car, my loss !! Your thread, right from the start, was not only enjoyable & informative, it was also educational, It also shows a fantastic "never give up" attitude, Looking forward to seeing future updates on both your own car and the new project, Nigel

Lovely car there, Nice to see the work being done sympathetically but properly, Always had a soft spot for them as I used to do all the maintenance work on a friends 130 when we lived in Devon, Looking forward to seeing future updates on this thread, Nigel

Nice looking car, I had a mk1 825i, nice motors, (still got the official Rover manual in the garage,) All that said though, the Tomcat is sex on wheels, Looking forward to seeing future updates on this, Nigel,

Is that a "special" coating on the spanners or just ordinary paint ?? Nigel

Would have to agree, The gutter / drain does add "something" to the photos, This is still a beautiful car, Nigel,

Nice, My Dad bought one to tow the caravan, It was an ex company car with minimal mileage and, as the garage manager who looked after all the company cars, he knew it was a safe deal, Brilliant motors, Looking forward to seeing future updates, Nigel

This is really coming along brilliantly, Loving the quality of your work and also the innovative efforts to "re-make" parts instead of paying through the nose for pattern / replacement parts, Can I ask, do you intend to keep the original glass fuses ?? Nigel

Looking forward to following this thread, Should be a nice motor when you've finished, (if they ever are,) Really like the interior, be interesting to see how you go with that, Please show how you get on with the bumper repair, it's a problem many have to deal with, I had a Mk 1 V6 back in the day, (ex Police Armed Response Vehicle,) went well when pushed and a comfortable ride, Nigel

Hi Rian, Brilliant news in the job front, (Even if you don't like the job always believed it's easier to get a job if you've already got a job, shows future employers that you're reliable, can get out of your pit in a morning etc,) Trucks looking great too, Nigel

Fantastic work going on here, This is going to be stunning when it's finished, I have to say I love the way "the roof needed welding " is so casually dropped into the thread, a repair like that would have me needing clean undergarments 😁😁 (I'd have a go but be terrified at the same time,) Mind you, looking at the standard of your other repairs I don't think it would worry you lol, Looking forward to seeing future updates on this thread, Nigel

Loved the Rover thread and the TVR thread, definitely looking forward to seeing future updates on this, As usual, "my Dad had one", it was actually the first car he ever bought brand new, (ARF802J, 1.3 4 door, bet it was scrapped years ago,) It was the car I started to learn to drive in before he upgraded to a 1750 Maxi to tow his caravan, Yours doesn't look all that bad so let's hope it carries on that way, Nigel
