          I'm praying to get that finished in time to Drive to Mr and Mrs shineys God willing I've spent my last penny's on it to get everything done and when it's finished I'm going to rent it out for weddings and enjoy some week ends and vw shows around the country I also want to take Gail to show her where I worked in the south of France so that should be a drive n half

                You obviously like making things, and working with water. So when you've done that your next project can be a steam driven car. :blue thumb: :)

                Best wishes for the festive season, to both of you, from Mrs Shiney and Myself :grphg:
