You have come a long way since August 2018.
Yup. A long journey that’s for sure.
Difficult to see it as my car! Can’t wait to put some shiny bits back on.

So… new garage
doors being fitted tomorrow.
Just in time as the shell is arriving home Thursday!
Barry has been a star and visited DC to sign the shell off for me. He’s happy, Steve’s happy, so I have a feeling I’ll be happy.
Exciting times
