So now that Chris has supplied me with enough parts to probably build another one all by itself (thanks Chris), the race is on.....I have arranged to collect the car on 21st May. It will be coming straight home first and then I have booked it into the garage on 28th June to start some work on the body so it's going to be a month of June doing stripping and getting her ready! I can't wait!!

Also, if anyone is interested and I know it's going to be winter, I'm thinking of throwing a Braai at my house between 28th June to 13th July as the Wife and Kids are in the UK visiting the "in-laws".

Let me know what works for people, I'm happy to supply the fire, food and drink!! Then you can see "Mo" & "BB" in person if alls gone well on the collection!

And this is what I want "BB" to look like.....but still working on the colour with Emma as she's not a blue person!
