looking real good shifty , keep hard at her and get as much done before the dark nights come in , but looking great hope to see it soon .

[SHIFTY]

Thanks very much lads

Alex: Im actually lookin forward to the dark nights so my dad doesnt want to do any jobs outside and we can hide in the workshop with the heaters on and get plenty done lol

Graham: Lol nice one, bet she sounded well at full chat!..I know its great to start on her again, if there wasnt as many motors and things to do around here then she would have been finished lonnnng ago! lol...in saying that though its gave me a good time to think about what I want from the car etc...hense one of the reasons im going to have to change that cage lol

Cheers lads, will try keep the pics coming...although the auld man has got me operating a wee 801 all weekend so we will see if I can fit in any escort tlc during that time lol
