    Thanks guys for the comments and thanks flick5848 for the scanning - mint job!

    Wierd as you like seeing it in the mag, its still sinking in. I was just grinning like a bloody idiot all day yesterday
    Gotta admit tho was very nervous before it came out, knowing how many different shots we did with pizza boxes and stuff. Love the way it came tho, tried to get the fun element of the boys workin at home in t feature.

    Glad you like it fella's - cheers, Gaz

    Well done mate - the feature looks awesome! And i cant believe the budget you worked to! You're a very lucky boy buying the Mex for that money!

    I think anyone who sees this car in the mag ought to see it in the flesh as its a stunner!

    Well done!

    Thanks again for the comments lads

    And absolutely right PIG about Retro Ford. James Gambles and Chris Brown done a brilliant job, making the write up sound remotely interesting was genius in itself and the pics and artwork with thumb prints and tea stains etc is just flippin brilliant. Thanks guys

    gazza, what can i say, from running over the road in my dinner break while you were in traffic, just to take a pic of the car, to seeing it at retrorides, this cheeky lil mk1 sums it all up 4 me, built to a budget, the way YOU want, thats wat its all about, and is still my favourite ever un-arched mk1... it really is the bollox...
