Good articles about both of you ( BJ & Mark AND Neil).

Keep up the good work.

Mark/BJ,

Been wondering when you were going to update.

Firth of Forth springs to mind (and 4 years painting).

Did Luego bend the front hoop, as I want something similar that hugs the scuttle -gonna have a removable screen and roof (maybe doors too).

Now that is what I call a strong chassis!

Still needs some holes in the floor pan for passenger drainage...

well it looks like the project is on hold for a while, the guy that i thought was a mate who did the welding is trying to charge me £3200 for the job, everyone who has looked at the chassis says its a good job but not worth that money, he was suppose to be doing it for mates rates as well, problem is, i have the chassis back, but him and his mate are keeping the rest of the stuff till i come up with the money, i didn't get a price to start with but you don't think a mate will try and stitch you up, he is saying he said 2k originally but i never heard him, he is also saying i change loads of stuff from his original quote, which i didn't, so until this is resolved project on hold, i have got the engine and box as well, but to replace all the bits they have will cost about 3k, i have given them nearly £1500 already, just got to work out what way to resolve this now.

Hi, the car is looking very good. A fair bit of work has gone into that, however £3k is a high price.

We have just done a beam axle conversion to an IRS for £2k and that had one hell of a lot of work.

Surely as a friend you can talk to him and come to some sort of agreement.

Best of luck,
Grant.

John & Mark, I know that you 2 are kind and gentle people, noble in the basic art of gentle verbal persuasion ( ) so I am sure that you will soon reach an amicable closure to this problem and be back on track with you build soon.

OH and if that doesn't get you results then drink him under the table and con him into giving it back.

Revenge is a dessert, best served when cold.

I think you are far better in any position that he is.

I would go to the police and state that someone has taken some parts of you and don't want to give them back.

with the proof of ownersship on your name (invoices etc. etc.) it should be easy to prove you are the legal owner of that stuff.

If the stuff is ours go for it!
I would make him ver very clear that there won't be any form of payment
if the stuff isn't giveing back very very soon.

Tks
