Thanks for the positive comments guys, its been soooo much hard work. Spending hours each night down the shed. Tomorrow or the next day the GPS/DVD system gets wired up ( I installed it this evening properly ) Friday the new exhaust goes on and by the weekend my leather recolouring kit comes from the states I hope. Looking forward to giving it a thorough clean and polish.

Eight months later it is finished, I now have an immaculate JA sitting in my driveway, all it needs now is some wheels when I can afford them.
Everything came up better than Iexpected but everything took ten times longer than i expected. I guess thats why it came up good huh ? Will post pics soon.

Yer thanks to Mal !!!!

It really needs an engine transplant which I will do in the next few weeks. It goes well, just a bit smokey and I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my starions condition.
