We picked the wild violet car up last week.  The paint looks pretty good and the mechanic has finished the new engine.  We still have to add the GT stripes and have had trouble deciding on the colour but will probably go with reflective orange. We had the car booked into the upholsterer last week so after getting it home from the painter we stripped the seats out and took them to the upholsterer at West Ipswich.  Talk about unprofessional we couldn't believe it when after mucking us around for about 20 mins he decided the job was too hard to do and proceeded to refund our deposit.  It would be nice to be able to name the company so everyone would know not to use them but unfortunately we can't. He probably did us a favour because we have been lucky enough to find an excellent upholsterer specialising in early Fords and hope to have the car finished before Christmas.
