Thanks guys,when I bought the 370 I wanted one and to be honest this was the only way I could afford one without having to get finance.I suppose it was a labour of love I used to have a 57 plate 350 and when I sold it I missed it bad so when this 370 came up after a bit of negotiation I bought it.On the hours side of things its hard to put a time to it as it was mostly evenings and weekends,luckily I have a good friend with a body shop who did all the paint work.A lot of time was spent actually sourcing parts as with 370s being so new theres not a lot of them being broken.With it being my car and not just a car to make money off I replaced everything even things that were not noticeably damaged such as wheel hub,which took a big hit,best to be safe than sorry.All I can add is when your buying parts from a main dealer explain your in an owners club and say another dealer who is further away has offered you a discount and ask them if they can match it,explain you would rather buy from them as there closer I will try and take some pictures this weekend and post them asap.If anyone is considering repairing any car make sure you know as humanly possible exactly what needs replacing and the cost of the parts.A lot of salvage dealers will sell damaged cars at stupid money telling people its an easy fix blah blah,if its that easy they would repair the car themselves and make more money.Be careful if buying a damaged car and if your not clued up take someone who is with you when looking there are bargains out there you just have to find them.I have been using the car now since the beginning of January and it drives like a dream and knowing it hasn,t cost me an arm and a leg makes it feel even better
