Hi Ian,
It's at Classic and Custom works, in Penn Street. I don't know why I feel uncomfortable naming them, I guess it's that I always expect people to assume I use the PCGB role to get a deal, and that's certainly not the case. He's snowed under with work and stopped advertising in PP, and I'm not getting any sort of discount. Having seen the standard of work i'd not go anywhere else, with the caveat that I've not seen it finished nor had a final costing. Just that I like his attitude; whether it's an Aston or a Cortina, it's just a challenge to him.
And no, it's not back yet. Given that he had a baby arrive 6 weeks early, and in the middle of a complete refit of the workshop, I've been telling him to put mine to the back of the queue; I really don't need it until Rutland is organised. Andy? [
][]I've not taken any pictures since the last ones above, either. In all honesty there's not that much to show! It's strange, but I really was expecting to find something interesting, and get some truly horrible pictures, but mine was so much worse on the outside that it's all been a bit of an anti-climax in many ways. Except the bill being less than the worst-case estimate, of course, which is a huge relief! [&:]
I popped in on Friday, and it's all primed and ready for paint. There were just a few bits around the rear lamps he was dealing with, and the most fiddly bits on mine were all around the rear-end. Boot catches, lamp recesses, spare wheel well, and that awkward double-skinned piece that the "Porsche" script sits on.
Back by the weekend, hopefully. Then to Tesco, where it can pick up it's first trolley "dink". [8|]
