Best of luck with the project. I was near to this place where your car work is done. I may visit there to see it in person soon, maybe in a couple of days. Hope to chit chat with you if I come you across.
I am just wondering if Charade parts are still easily/readily available. Because when similar project was done there a couple of years ago I saw it all getting done. It was a Ferrari-red-coloured Charade, which is till in a good nick. I feel like buying it as my friend has it. Only concern is if parts are still available in abundance.
Keep us all updated.
