Sad was an awesome shop from what I saw on restoring dreams they had a real passion for the cars and did everything right. I like how in one episode they showed the body resto stage he said they rust proof the car top to bottom and even open up the sills to rust proof most restorers won't go that far he really cared for the old girls.

Today with farewelled a truly inspirational person, who touched so many of us, and the send off was amazing and so was the turnout.

Neil's determination and courage to beat his illness, was something I will never forget, or the phone calls we had about the Coupe and life in general.

Neil you will always be remembered by Miranda and I, and never forgotten mate. We will miss you!
