Big thanks to Woody's Autos for fine work; and his neighbour and forum member DazasDolly for helping out with missing bits.

Huge smile on my face still. Another Toledo on the road for 2014...

Hello Ben

Glad I could help, it was good to see you and Maggie. Some bit's reminded me of when I was getting my TC back on the road, especially the bit's that needed welding.

Wish I had known Steve when I was doing mine, life would have been so much easier :D

Yes. Idiot of a taxi driver. Wrote off a whole rank of parked cars. Gutted. Daphne the Herald now gets parked in a much quieter place.

Ben

If you look at the ebay ad the engine may still be available for Dahne, you know that engine is sweet? Not to far to pick up in my transit.
