Looks like you're doing pretty much the same as me, except I've got an engine rebuild in there, and I haven't done the boot area yet...

That is true Joe, but that was a dicision made up in the heat of the moment, after a cooling donw period of a few weeks , and a good talk with my wife, i had decided se sould stay.
i have a tight budget, but a great network for parts and Coupé friends . so that wil be ok
