	Remember that rotten old shed of a minor that i was gonna break and be best shot of? Well i pulled all the interior out the other day and got rid of it on ebay and i've decieded... Well.... It aint really as bad i was making it out to be after all. The thing is i wrote it off before i started doing the escort but now comparing the two the minors probably in better shape than that and i just cant bring myself to scrap it as everytime i look at it i get a funny feeling in my tummy. So this means project minor is back on. Nothing fancy this time round, just gonna get it half tidy, lowered and with a nice engine. Oh yeah, and a very stripped out interior ;D ;D ;D Does everyone else keep having these sudden changes of heart or is it just me?

	Every other second. As my Sunbeam went down the road last saturday it was all I could do not to go after it and give the man his money back.

	I know what you mean! Earlier today I saw the previous owner of my first car, a rat look Moggy van. She was very glad to hear that the person I'd sold it to was a specialist who restores them (& AFAIK still owns it - it's definatly still taxed), & also couldn't believe that my dad's old Amazon was still going! Thinking about it all brought back so many happy memories of that car & made me wish that I'd kept it! I really must try to contact the guy I sold it to......

	Yeah I`m like that, recently my Mazda 323 (J-reg, not even really retro) was smashed beyond repair in a motorway pile up, front bumper, bonnet, headlamp, wing, windscreen and to seal the deal the A-post was bent. I replaced it straight away with the Galant and gave it up as dead, but didnt get round to scrapping it straight away and 2 months later I found myself booking it into a bodyshop for the A-pillar straightening and buying up all the panels from a scrapper. Its ready to go back on the road now and it felt funny checking the oil and putting petrol in it again after it had been written off as a goner (even cannibalised the rear wiper arm and door scraper seal off it for one I was selling) . I think the reason I did it is because I just liked the idea of it getting up from its paggering and having another go. And in any case I wanted another one and it probably cost less to rebuild it as it would have to get another one as good with the same kind of miles. Youre not the only one fella, and you`ll feel good when its done and you think "and I was gonna scrap that"
