I think Orca has had a "write off" before. There's a bit of a tell tale bump on the OSF and no history :) I've had significant work done and the gearbox will be the "third life". With 6 more to go, she's gonna go on for years yet :) > Apart from passing one MOT last year, I haven't got a clue other than > what is obviously visible what is and isn't wrong with mine. A good garage with experience is soooo worthwhile. The rest, you just remember from your own experience and you're still a v'gin :) BTW, where's Grunff? He must be having a MUCH NEEDED holiday. > I might have spent all this time and money on stuff, and have it all > hanging from a shell held together by rust. Yup, that's the C900. Like I said some time ago, it's all worth it - the C900 is one gorgeous car to own and a better car to drive. Once you've replaced everything that moves, it's time to start on the bodywork ... And if you leave it too long, you'll have to start on the moving parts again :) Cheers bud, Paul
