[johnt0709]

[suchy]

A big pat on the back to yourself for not throwing the towel in

[jbh]

When do you hope to be back on the road in it?

[gooner1]

Anna, i,m loving the colour
Is it worth me coming over tomorrow, to just put the bare minimum
needed for an Mot, r would it be best to leave it a day or two?

Got the pics from Shaun (whipsey), my Daughter will put them up later
when she gets in.

The End is in sight.

[Gortour]

Glad it's all worked out for you in the end mate.

[Dezzy]

Looking forward to seeing pics of this finished.

Well done for sticking with it mate.

[Rav335uk]

Well the right time of year Rob to get your car back, summers defo here mate.
Can't wait to see it in the flesh

[whipsey]

rob just as a quick note mate its not even been polished yet

[Ollie_bwoii]

Fantastic too see it get to this stage, and I hope it's exactly how you first wanted it too be Rob.

Here's to a potentially very happy ending.

[ImysE30]

Can't wait to see this in the flesh too, credit to you Rob

[beardymat]

Didnt post on this earlier as if i havnt got anything good to say i just keep quiet and there was nothing good about his work at all. It never ceases to amaze me how these people can seem to wing it through and still get work.

This now looks like its got a proper job and boy do you deserve it after having your heart broken like that. Cant wait to see some pics of it in colour.

And well done guys for taking on the challenge, I know only too well how much more work it is when following an incompetent muppet using cheap products and would usually steer clear.

[scottidog]

Hey. Just wanted to say i have just read this from the beginning inc the original "sad looking cab" thread.

My heart goes out to you, and you have balls of steel for seeing this through.

After having crossed swords with the first idiot who did that abortion of a job, many people would have given up and moved on. I know i would have!

Your a credit to yourself.... This site.... and your car.

Cant wait to see it in colour.

Scottidog

[e30topless]

Very very happy it's working out and on-track, a sad start but a happy ending ?

Rob is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and i hope the cab comes out well in Imola

I just hope the coont that did this to Robs pride and joy gets what he deserves.....
I am sure he will !

[weknowtruth]

Cars not been polished yet so cant be trimmed back up until after that hun but your welcome to pop over and see it at any point Rob, just hope your pleased with it
Aiming on getting it polished this week so Friday would be a good day to pop over with parts to fit it up if possible??

Anna x

[gooner1]

Just to say thanks for all the words of encouragement,
don,t want to do a Gwenith Paltrow here, but all this
would not have been posible without the help of
whipsey, Anna and Simon.

A little taster of the colour, a suggestion from Andyboy, and which
ironically would not have happened if Ratboy had been any kind of Painter.



Anna , i, ll be over first thing Friday mate

[spook]

Thats looking good you coont,when its done get in it and drive on down,

[gooner1]

You can bank on it moosh, foreshore.

[gooner1]

So, went over to Annas yesterday to help putting the cab back together.
Due to the fact that RWDonly, just dumped every bolt, screw, clip, part
in various piles, the putting together is going to take longer than i imagined.
My problem now is, the Tax runs out on Monday and the MOT has expired.
Hopefully it will be back together before the end of next week, or enough of it
to enable it to go for an MOT.
Should i Sorn it now, or risk Taxing it a few days late?
Happy with Colour and finish, but as i went almost straight from a nightshift, i forgot my Camera
Also the more we put together, the more parts we discover are broken or just plain missing.
Sorry if i seemed like a Bear with a sore head yesterday Anna, Simon.

[johnt0709]

Rob - I think I would be tempted to risk it for a few days, the tax is obviously backdated anyway to the beginning of the month

[Speedtouch]

Probably best to SORN it asap; you don't need further grief on top of that fiasco!

[gooner1]

Probably best to SORN it asap; you don't need further grief on top of that fiasco!

Was thinking that myself.
Can do it online, but then do i need to wait for paperwork
to arrive before i can Tax it?

[Speedtouch]

No, as long as you have the registration document, MOT and insurance certificate, you can tax it any time you like.

[Jhonno]

Stating the obvious maybe.. However, is that imola?

[Royalratch]

This car is going to look some sick. Red chromie Cabrios are nice, very nice.

[gooner1]

That,s a nobrainer then. Sorn it is.
Thanks.
