Nike55 - Some of your words and photos do make for some pretty grim reading.
So I hope that with everything finally back in your procession that you can re-set your build from here.
Unfortunately you can't undo the road you have already travelled along, so you are right to look forward.
Also if you are going to be able to work on the car "full time" as it were, then this should really be a big help.
Finally, I hadn't picked up on the fact you are based in Watford, as this means we are practically neighbours.
Hopefully we can meet up one day to compare builds (assuming I can make some real progress myself
).
Good luck, Paul.
