I'll be organising the Allegro Club stand as this year, but if you'd like to borrow my Excel to do some work on it.......

I'll probably have a drivers side door beam and window frame to do

I'm up for that. Hopefully my engine will be long past finished its rebuild and install by then! But there's bound to be something that needs fixing that I can do at the show. Maybe replacing, or even rebuilding, that differential that's been slowly leaking ever since I bought the car, and now seems to have a little more free-play than it should.
Really enjoyed it this year, the buzz, the camaraderie, the help, the friendly and inquisitive visitors, the easy access to somewhere to buy extra tools, let alone the chance to work on my car somewhere indoors and well-lit.

I think that's the first time I've ever heard the NEC described as well lit!

These things are relative. It's better than my kitchen / current workshop, my last garage (unlit), or my previous workshop (two striplights).

I must agree with Richard. I really enjoyed this year, even though I seemed to spend most of the time chatting to potential owners.

That's
a) the reason you only got one door done
b) the reason we're there
It must be nearly 10 years since our first presence at one of these shows and we still keep getting people telling us about cars we don't know about and asking about the ownership experience. It's wonderful!
