Sad part is, if I manage to get what I want (what I should have bought), I'll be saddled with a yank forum and they're no fun at all.
I think its a shame and will be sorry to see you go, but good luck with it. Do what makes you happy and thanks for the entertaining posts.
cheers,

Mate, that's no good! What's gone wrong? :(
Nothing's gone 'wrong' as such. The project's just reached a point where it's going to start costing me money. That's fine, it's what you sign up for when starting a restoration. However, it's the end of phase one and the start of phase two - time to reflect.Quote:

There are other reasons as well, but that's the main one.
If Wombat doesn't sell, I'll simply continue working on her and might just paint her pink to annoy the hell out of you :twisted:
That would annoy me something chronic! :D
All the best with whatever you do going forward, and even if you sell Wombat and buy a different marque, don't be a stranger - you can still show us what you're up to. :)
Funnily enough - that was the colour of my first Land Rover. A hand me down 1954 86" back in 1967. Product of a few idle days and several cans of paint left over from painting the doors on one of the farm sheds.Quote:

Crackers,
Although I think that you will regret not finishing her I understand your feelings.
We will miss your progress reports and sense of humor.
Good luck with the MG and don't be a stranger.:)
Regards,
Thanks.Quote:

Just to save the wondering and horror, she's now up on eBay - bid often, bid high :D
And please tell me if I've got anything wrong with the ad.
