Must be something to do with rules and regulations to stop you entering the car professionally. What a bummer.

But you've done alot of work already...

No, that is not it. The "building" shop has disided not to have his shop any more. So I am done... Have been doing this too long... and I have no more "spirit" left for this project.

You deserve kudos for putting aside the play car for your kid. I am sure you could find another shop to take your dollars.
