Retired or Apprentice or neither, I just want a local enthusiast to hold my hand and help with the completion of a Dax Rush (99% finished) and then the bumpy ride of IVA and Registration

Please call on 07768 123409 if you are keen

Rates and hours to be discussed

Hi Ashley, good luck with the search, would love to commit as a hobby mechanic, but just too far away and other projects both car and house related already behind time . Do you already have a concise list of the outstanding bits to complete, facilities and the time to do this yourself.
Just wondering if a small group visit on a weekend could roll up and offer advise and maybe some assistance to the two man stuff if it would help to move it along.

Biggest query now is finding wedges for the reversing and fog lights so they are vertical

I thought only fog had to be vertical, not reverse.

If you look at the Car Builder Solutions site "how too" bit, they make one from filler, I did something similar for the door mirrors here:-

Also a lot of under-dash edges can be eliminated with a simple panel under the dash. A piece of carpet will do, just so the edges / wires / gubbins isn't touched by the dreaded hemisphere.
