General NEC Restoration Show 12-13th April

I'm glad its (hopefully!) all sorted(y) Was going to offer my Mk1 if you needed a stand in car, but looks like you have it under control:D

We are planning on arriving at around 9 on Sat, so Gavin I will ring you when we get there for someone to come and find us with the tickets(y)

Yes no problem. (y)

I thought I was going to have to start finding display cars but fingers crossed we can sort it ok. Part of the problem is that Pinky & Panto are meant to be there as specific exhibits so randomly putting Panda's there that aren't the right ones wouldn't really work. Nearly got to that stage though! As usual getting the cars there is harder than finding them in the first place...... :rolleyes:

(y) hope the set-up day goes ok, and the show goes well.:)
 
Well the transporter's supposed to be ready this evening. Vernon's having to drive up again & won't get back home until late - should be back just in time to get up & start loading in the morning! :eek:

Bob scout has kindly offered to go down if need be in the morning :worship:

Will we have any cars up there, will we have the right cars up there, will Vernon have a nervous breakdown, and is it all a (bad) dream???!! (y)

Just got back with the transporter. :slayer:

Off to bed now as I'm up again at 5.30!

Great news (y)
scout is very kindly en route to assist, so between them hopefully the 3 Panda's will arrive safely at the NEC later today.

Meanwhile I'm trying to sort myself out & will amble up to the NEC when I've got everything arranged this end. :)
 
Well, after a great deal of trouble, I present to you PANDA TRANSPORTER!!

As you can see we got here eventually! We have 3 Panda's and Freddie the 127 on the stand - more pics possibly tomorrow. I've already used the 30 mins free "wifi" tonight uploading 3 pics, and now am using a small gerbil called Cyril who is clearly getting tired...... :rolleyes:



 
Here are some pics from me today :)

Excellent looks like a good display guys! How is Pinky coming along? Panto! looks rude :cool:

Pinky has had the engine and gearbox removed now, we did this before loading him onto the transporter so that we didn't have to deal with fluids and engine cranes at the show.
Today we stripped the interior. When I say we I'm talking about Freddy (Panda1408) and John (Freddy's Dad), John (Freebo) and Neil (John's Dad), and me. Gavin (Palio) and Bob (Scout) Kept the public at bay.

Big thanks to Bob for coming down to the workshop yesterday and helping get the Pandas to the show. (y)

Panto is getting alot of positive feedback, in fact the whole stand has been busy most of the day. :)
