I can vouch also for the work of GTT. A month is more than enough to have the car before you start - I think I waited 2 weeks and that was only because of logistics. I went with the 210, then the extra bits to make the 230 and both times there was a very noticeable difference. The chassis braces are equally good.
In terms of cafes- I stayed with my in-laws very close to Blandford for a few weeks after we sold our house and before we left for NZ. The Half Crown cafe in the centre was pretty good from what I saw although I only ever had lunch (usually a coffee and a tuna toastie) in there - that wasn't the dodgy orange juice place was it? The other thing I noticed was that the fish and chip shop in the centre was really expensive!
BTW wozcoop - loving what you've done to the cab. It's very, very similar to a hatch I know... |
