I read this earlier. It was very kind of them and all that, but I can't help but think the guy was secretly thinking 'Oi! I was going to
do that!'

Good job it wasn't Calvins car or the welding would have been up for scrutiny and all the geopmetry would no doubt have been set up wrong,
oh and he would have changed his mind about restoring it anyway and decided to sell if off and buy an MNR

Personally I wouldn't like anyone to finish something I started but then your priorities change when you have a serious illness.

It doesn't really make clear the full details. I take it to mean that he was incapable of continuing the build.
Given the option of abandoning my project or having it finished for me I know which route I would take.....
I just think it shows that there is some hope in this selfish world we now occupy (Oo that was a bit deep!)

WHY was I not told about this MARK. I'll just go and start polishing my rocket now.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Exactly!
"but then your priorities change when you have a serious illness. "
Not necessarily Razman. I look at my disabilities as an excuse to buy power tools.

i think its an amazing thing to do for some one, from what i gather the car wouldnt ever have been finished cause of how ill the guy was!

If I was still able to do it, then I would secretly be a bit peeved, but also glad it was done at the same time. If, however, I was incapable of
completing it, then I would be over the moon, and buying the beers for a good while. I'd probably look at it as a really, really big get well
soon gift!
Also, good to see there are a few good, decent folk out there still. Other then on here of course.
