Cannot disagree with your strategy

ps Just spoke to Russell, and looks as if we will go down that route once MOT, tax and insurance are in place.

Cant believe the change. I last saw her at KH just over a year ago and remember the before picture.

Fantastic job.

As I do not even have the original Lotus decals on anymore, they would be appreciated.

Difference this time is I do not actually NEED stickers to hold the bodywork together.

tut

ps one too many birds in your avatar for you, so send along the spare one at the same time in a large envelope.

Why not get some vinly graphics made up to look like the front of the pre tarted N1TUT?

Would save the underlying paint work too

someone who cares for their vehicle so as to ensure its value is retained and they dont drive a shed

Just had a pic of the rear sent to me.

Makes me feel a bit better that I had to do something.

Lee

Alans business is repairing and re-spraying. He is just a mile away from me in the next village, and at present is leasing a farm building from the local farmer. He turns his hand to anything from combine harvesters, HGV's and now Elises.

He is a youngish chap that works on his own, I never even asked him what it would cost, just knew that it would be fair and that he would do a good job. A bit like Mark Hutcheson, an enthusiast who is pleasant to chat to, an expert at what he does, and has not got caught up into the total world of commercialism. He told me that the paint alone costs £170/litre, but with combined buying from the right source, he can get that down.

You all know the state that my car was into, so it takes some going to turn it into this.

Cheers Tut, it's always good to hear about local folk in the North East like Mark and now Alan that we can entrust with our cars, and we doff our caps to yourself for spreading the word!

My car has had a crack in the front clam since I got it over three and a half years ago, but water is now getting into it causing lovely ready-to-flake bubbles when it freezes. I've delayed doing anything about it as I couldn't bring myself to fork out stupid money to the likes of Kinghorn or JM for an average job... (JM repaired my car when I was rear ended and didn't do a great job even with a brand new clam). Knowing that there is someone local, independent and knowledgable might just be the shove I need to sort it out!

Hi Tut,
I now recognise the car again from the south that you just got and drove back to Scotland together with others just in time for your Tut Towers week-end in 2002 ( I think it was 2002? )

Great result

Tut, the car looks amazing, almost like new
