Neil :) its going well - weve started on the ventflap now! u wont believe what the original owners did lol other than having a fibreglass fetish :| the old flap went rusty n horrible, like they do! so instead of replacing it, they just made up a fibreglass cover, stuck that ontop- sealing in all the damp n rot! and then sealed it with lots and lots of filler! which im now having to slowly pick off! ive emailed the 2cv parts guy mark, near dunstable, and shud be going down next week, need some doors and ventflap obv!

and to cambridge - yes you'll deffo see me there :D aslong as its not too hard to find with satnav :lol: hehe

... you'll probs hear me coming aswell!

edit: :shock: please explain why thers some biblebasher advert at the bottom of the forum... or is that just some general ad to annoy the non religious?
