Sadly a car which had been a solid base for a really good rebuild, ie the best original bodywork I'd seen on an MGF was systematically ruined by an individual who's aspirations far outstripped his abilities.

Come to think of it, I've never seen this man finish anything yet, I've seen an awful lot of partial failures, but never a finished article.

Never mind, at least I don't have anything to do with this individual any longer
