Cool.
I'm getting mine resprayed as well. I've got until 30 April to strip it down ready for paint.
Are you having a complete respray and have you had a quote for yours?
Hi Ged, I'm only having the outside sprayed no internals I've had a couple of quotes ranging from £2000+vat to £3000 no vat and I'm getting another quote on Monday afternoon the first one I'm not sure about as he was asking me if spraying fibreglass was different from spraying metal, I'll get a couple more quotes before I decide, there can't be much to strip can there, I was going to let them strip the car for me, I noticed last night that the electric mirrors have stopped working, that's another job to sort.I'm getting mine resprayed as well.

Help... Cars booked in Monday at 1300hrs for mot, took car round block yesterday drove OK till I got back, stopped engine then tried restarting, it started but wouldn't Rickover, undid petrol cap big hiss and car starts, repeated whole procedure same results, the only thing I was unsure about on the rebuild was when replacing the pipe run from the carbon canister I ran the pipe to the bottom of the rollover valve then out of the top to the tank, is this the right way? If anybody knows please let me know before tomorrow. Cheers Jim.

Hello mate, sorry I didn't reply sooner, did you get sorted?
Hi Ged, it turns out the speedo didn't work so the ECU thought car wasn't running so it cuts out sorted speedo car runs OK now, passed mot, had a few problems this afternoon. Power steering resovoir developed a leak, both rocker cover gaskets leaking, otter switch packed up car overheated and blew the heater hose off, apart from that everything is great, going to get all the little niggles sorted then put it up for sale, I don't know what it's worth but I've got £10,000 in it and twelve months labour. Car mot'd taxed and insured, so decided to take it out for a shakedown, car ran like a dream, I could feel that even the car was enjoying the new lease of life. Unfortunately it will be going up for sale in the next couple of weeks, all offers considered.Any inspection welcome, does anyone know where is the best place to advertise the car.
