Hi Squiggle, I hope you plan to post some pictures of the repaired block and your progress in getting it back in the car.

Actually we have been taking photos, good point.

Must keep up the record.

If I hadn't been ill yesterday the cavalry [Ray] would have been here to commence proceedings.

Thanks Darrell.

I have to say - they have done a very good (looking) job on the block. If you didn't know it had a problem, you'd never spot what they did.

Unfortunately due to jobs and illness the block has been sitting idle for a week :(
Rebuilding should be underway quite soon though :D

Ask for Barry [option 3] 01234 352418

Superb service. Even collected and delivered for free. Stitching work guaranteed for a year.

Were recommended by a local garage owner who collects vintage cars.

Will resize photos and post them.
