Cheers for yesterday Phil, top bloke. Thank you very much for picking me up at Derby station and not just that but carrying out some welding on the boot and sticking a £10 in it too. RR needs more guys like you  As you may have been able to tell as soon as I saw the car I was in love immediately...the drive home was excellent, didn't miss a beat. I soon got used to the left foot braking as well I am looking forward to getting started today as soon as I have gotten all the blooming house stuff done. Oh and them pictures just don't do that car justice, it looks a LOT better in the metal [Insert hangloose smilie here] |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

I love it, really I am properly in love with it. I just want it to be safe and sound and then bring in the speed Resto starts tomorrow, I will be sure to start up the resto pics. I have found the origin of the conversion and the guys over at GPSpeed are sending me a CD full of pics and some of the lads are digging into their notes and getting me as much information as they can. |
