thanks for all the welcomes.  dont think there will be any photos til the end of the week cos i gonna be spending wed turs etc enjoying my 350 and then cleaning and polishing it ready for the photos.   
am based in sheffield and would love to tag along to a local meet one day and say hi.   
between myself and my boyfriend, neil, we have a few cars which we are gonna have to a get a new drive to accomodate them all.  As i work in leeds i have 'bess' a blue citroen zx diesel as a daily runner.  neil my other half has 'eloise' a nissan 200sx.  A bit of a project car at the minute.  currently on the drive on axle stands with bits in the gararge, shed and house and a set of 350 wheels ready to go on in my mums garage.  And on thurs jus gone we bought a ford capri laser 2.0 named doug.  originally meant to be a project for over the winter when the 200sx is complete but neil jus cant resist. so far already purchased for the capri is a central locking, snap off steering wheel and it looks like a new recaro interior will be coming this week.   
anyway gotta go clean the capri see you later
