Again that I visited the shop. My car looks really strange to me now. Almost can't recognize her smile...

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it

The alloy handle is from a MK II Elise. Any Lotus dealer can get them.

That's ace. You get a complete respray?
Strive for perfection in everything. (given time)
Take the best that exists & make it better. (given inclination)
If it doesn't exist, create it. (God did)
Ignore what I say. (good advice)
