WOW Jimbo! That is commitment.
I feel for you buddy. I think I would've binned the lot & admitted defeat, but you stuck at it. Get some well earned rest & come back to it when you are ready to attack it fella.
Stupid crooks left behind your Speedlines & all those XE rockers & belt covers etc.... amateurs!
it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS
really sorry to see the unit in such a state, must of been terrible. really terrible.
congrats on the new addittion to the family, congrats on getting the car done in time and most of all congrats for having a sense of humour in writing those updates. top reading!
great result mate well done!
DRIZZ

Looks great in white tho, time to build it now?

My Nova Turbo Build - http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/vauxh...rbo-build.html
yeah id half expected it to be green when i seen it aswell. looks good in white though. jim is possibly the only person i know to have the character to not throw it all away. ive not seen him so happy in a long time after it was finally in his garage.
cant wait to get stuck in and return the car building favours i owe.

glad to see progress! Thought it was gonna end up getting sold/split etc. Top work
definatly the best thread on mig well done mate
carpper bout the break in and glad the family are well - 10000/10 for effort buddy
I've fixed this for you. Benn
Cheers for the comments guys.
I was going to do it Rio Verde again but I've seen quite a few old skool white cars kicking about and I just liked it. Plus Rio Verde has been copied to death by everyone (me included!)
Plus of course to get the job done in time I've had to pull every trick I've ever learned and white is a great colour for not showing up mistakes.....not that I make any being "one skim Jim"
Last of all I really came close to scrapping it and I mean real close. But Muppetsport and the wife talked me round and mainly the car has some memories for me as one of my best friends who, without his help I would never of got nine tenths of the car done, sadly died a few years ago from cancer. You can't buy that kind of stuff again so I had to get it done!
In fact my mums the only one who doesn't like the deal lmao "tough mum" lmao
Done now innit.
Winks to the crowd and swaggers off in a cool yet slightly smug and pleased with himself fasion....
