That’s a huge achievement! Congratulations.

That’s interesting. I thought Bearmach were supposed to be ok.

What happened to my animation?

Cool. Looking forward to seeing that.

I live about 20 minutes away from Rimmer Bros so wish I could get more from them. Trouble is they are way more expensive most of the time. It's still just britpart parts at the end of the day. They used to be cheap enough for MG parts when I had my midget but that was a long time ago.

I can't really be arsed.

My rocker is still nice and firmly attached thanks and i'm telling you that I don't always find it easy to get all the parts I want, at reasonable quality, at reasonable prices, with reasonable shipping when I want them. Unless you have tried to order the exact parts I wanted, at the exact time...

Trying to get parts is a nightmare. As most above say. You may get a nice order going with Paddocks but then they don't stock some obscure bit but Craddocks do. Then the rest of the stuff you want is more expensive at Craddocks but they do stock it. Do you pay postage on the single item? Can...

It does look wonderful. Well done.

Did you know that 'BRITPART' is an anagram of 'WHY DO THESE BUGGERS NEVER FIT I'M GETTING REALLY TIRED OF THIS'. 😆

How about this one as a bench mark to start from. See where it is better or worse than yours and work something out from there. Of course what it's listed at and what it actually sells for could be very different...

Can't help with value i'm afraid. One thing I do know prices still seem to be on the up. My only reference is ebay and facebook groups where I see them advertised and even disastrous looking ones are up for 2 to 3 grand. Glad I got mine when I did. Couldn't afford even the biggest basket case...

Not an easy route to go but what about an automatic gearbox and power steering? Bit of a massive leap here but anyway. Has this ever been done? I suppose would need a 200/300 Tdi conversion as well. Could keep the old girl then and be better to live with on the touring and camping trips. I'm...

Looks incredible. Well done.

Wow! What tenacity. You have done so well there. If that was me it would still be in the garage, blisters and all while I would be in the house, pretending it had never happened with my bottom lip sticking out having a mardy.

That is some important progress. Nice one.

And if it is a Britpart one probably only 0.0002452 seconds.

I'm also tiling the kitchen at the moment but with that i've managed to accept that good enough by eye will do and just because I know it's on the wonk here and there it won't matter. I've even managed to talk myself into a slightly short tile right behind the taps under the window sill because...

I really wanted a landy that had gently aged and had that patina that everyone is always on about. Soon became apparent that mine was going to need some bodywork doing that would have left it like a patchwork of patina and new bits so now it's all got to be sorted. I'll probably get mine...

On one hand I enjoy the fiddly detail but on the other it is a massive pain in the arse and holds me up. It's an issue I have in life generally and it's a bit of a mental battle I have with myself. It can stop you getting anything done and even when you do get it done the perfectionist side is...
