Re: Re:
Cheers for the nice words , i had a good grounding as a mechanic and MOT tester from the late 80's to early 90's, the rest i've just picked up over the years messing with my own cars, i've always had some kind of project on the go.
Sadly the Lotus had to go last year, loved it and it drove excellent but really it needed restored, something i wasn't prepared to do, the Monster Discovery had to go too, the idea of buying the Firebird was to have just one money pit instead of a collection of money pits , i've hung onto my E34 for the longest as i love it but really that has to go as well so is on E bay just now (i bought a 2007 Fiat Panda 100HP to run about in), going to be keeping the Firebird a while once it's done.
Maestro Turbo , very rare thing, i had an 87 MG 2.0EFI back in the late 90's, got all the body done (rear arches, all four doors, bumpers and tailgate all replaced), had it resprayed Ford Azure blue, was lowered on Moto-Build springs, it looked stunning and was quick for it's time, loved it but swapped it with a guy in Rutherglen for my first Firebird, done the deal in a friggin blizzard so didn't check the Firebird properly :roll: , next day i found the Firebird was pretty much a pile of junk :roll: , young and stupid.

Currently putting this back together if I ever pull my finger out & find time
