Dan,

Yes your car mine are "sisters" I'm treating mine to a full blown BTTF kit,
I've already got one of Paul's Mr. Fusions, and other bits are being
designed and made as we talk.

I've also ( as previously mentioned) a small Auto battery topper
upper.....The ?3 , from the flea market did not work, but happily Halfords
were able to change it for a new one!!!

BTW Dan, I don't like the Idea of you leaving Maddie with no brake fluid
in..you could get rust up the inside of things..just a thought.

Chris P. don't mention the second LHD as it has not been "sanctioned" yet!

Chris,

I am dispirited but thats all. I'll never sell my D and I will probably buy
another that is a runner in the near/middle/far future and carry on with
Maddie simply as a labour of love. BUT this year has been the worst of my
life. Other than breaking a leg (okay 18 months ago but I'm still suffering)
I lost my job, nearly my house and daily drive only to get news that Chris N
cannot repair my panels and he's emigrating early next year to the US
probably PERMENANTLY! So I need to *buy* parts rather than pay less to have
repairs. I mean, Dave Howarth apparantly has door skins etc but I still need
a front wing, rear quarter, bonnet and a very rare, very expensive piece of
fibreglass (not to mention the *maybe* on the front frame piece. It's just
too much. I hardly went in to this blind but it isn't the car that's pi**ed
me off!
So if I take a break and come back at it fresh you may yet see Maddie on the
road... but probably not before you see me driving another car! Heh.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas - and do *me* a favour and treat your cars
to something nice eh?

Dan
Vin#5641 (I can understand Chris' want for me to continue... your DeLores is
Vin#5638 isn't she?!? My Maddie's sister!)
