Look. Something Sprint Speciale-shaped under that cover now that the body shop have completed their works.
Heading for final fit-out, MOT and many years of motoring joy ahead.

Re: It begins...
A belated Happy New Year to everyone.
Apologies for the apparent recent radio silence. My wife's been fighting a degenerative illness so my priorities have necessarily shifted a bit.
The most important thing is that her condition has improved significantly recently now that a programme of dialysis has kicked in, although our lifestyle has obviously altered majorly. It's all good though and we're coping well with the change in circumstances and can see her overall health getting better as a result of the excellent medical care that she's receiving.
So, the Sprint's ongoing restoration has stalled a little but we're getting there. Euan and the guys at CP Garage Services have now commenced the final refit.
The car's imminent return later in the year will give both my wife Mandy and I a big boost as it'll go a long way to helping us forget about recent events. Car SOS style!

Further progress photos as promised. Euan and the lads at CP Garage Services are doing a great job.
Guys. Dare I say it? After all the bad luck I think that at last we're almost there!

Roll on the summer.

Re: It begins...
This is the best bit when it all starts to come together thick and fast with lots of little wins. Enjoy the moment.

Re: It begins...
Well, here we go again.
With the completion of the restoration tantalisingly in sight, work has stopped again. That virus....
True to say though, I can wait a little longer. As long as everyone stays safe, it's all good for me. Take care everybody.
