And it's got nice little cat paw prints on the (detached) back window in the barn. Awww.....lovely.
So I guess it's mouse free.

I'm sure I've seen this car on here before - A539 XGK
One of the traders on the RX-8 OC (based in South Wales) has just bought it as a "passion project"! Good news is, the guy involved (James) is an ace at making up custom panels, welding and spraying. If this link works, you can see some of the jobs this guy has done, so looking forward to seeing what he can do with this FB.

"Shambo's Paintshop"; don't think James has a website, but he has a Facebook page with his contact details and examples of his work in progress:

His metal fabrication work is awesome, looking at the pictures he's posted

Not on register yet that I can see Malc. Though that wheel combo looks familiar.

Thought I'd best pop my head in the door here... thanks for your kind words Casey.
I'll post up some more info about the car later on, still working at the moment
