Well i hate trains 
Busy smelly and even grown men falling asleep and dribbling 
All the things i had to take was drive shafts induction kit even radiator all on the train
Whilse waiting along comes an old steam train 
After insane amounts of traveling of bloody trains i get lost in picadilly station even with beardys directions finally made it out after 15 mins of wandering around with a stupidly heavy bag and to greet me beardy with a whit chinky chento pissing himself laughing
Crused in style to his residence and sat and waited for iaz (flaming corsa) good sence of direction going up wrong roads but was cooll cos car flipped when he turned
Comes round corner backwards and see this
Obviously minus the window but really does look mint
Both beardy and iaz gave me heart falure on a bet
Risking my bumper for a tenner bet was iaz said wouldnt come off trailor without wood blocks beardys was it will be fine it will just touch we got to about 1mm then i gave in (think i lost beardy a tenner) but i have bumper in tact
So now engine work starts curtesy of beardy top bloke fair laugh as well whilse i was there with the girls fighting down the road (no i dont have vids sorry)
So here it is ready to get worked on...
I will update as updates come

Cheers - just the remote and surround if you can please
need a few shiny bits under the bonnet though to finish it off - manifold/batterycover/spark plug cover etc would make the engine match the outside
respect to both Beardy and Iaz!!
