gentlemen, thanks for your support, you have said what I am trying to say, but have helped me say it. I think Dean, I am not offended by constructive comments, and you sound very experienced in your field. But I feel as a previous poster has said, you are trying to humiliate people and more or less calling people (me) a liar. Can I just say, that I knew nothing about mechanics, or restoration and this has been my ony one. So please dont treat me as if this is something I do all the time, and this is my 5th car I am on. I know what I have done to the car from respray to having the carbs cleaned and balanced by Burlen fule systems. And please, before you mention..."ah he said he hasnt restored a car before, that must make the car even worse"!!, anything that I cound do myself, ie: re wiring, exhaust system, engine, fluid changes etc etc I have done myself, otherwise I have always taken it to Volvo specialist Tony Barrett, for repairs, MOT or servicing. Please do not say things like, " I have looked over previous posts, and that they are ameteur questions" which some how gives you the right to belittle the other persons ability and achievements. I really dont wish to talk about filler, torches or British Leyland lights any more. I have had enough. I really wish I didnt even bring anything up. For all of those who have understood where I was coming from, I thank you from my heart. I know Gordon Hunter fairly well, and I would welcome his constructive comments any day, when required. Now please can we drop this one, and I appologise if I have rocked the boat in any way. Thanks all. Jimmy
