Couldnt believe it - what a day to be transporting the car - only had the car out of the paint shop an hour and already had it covered in snow, ice, salt and road film

Then had to take the jig back up to Lee's place once it was on axle stands in the garage - positively tropical up there

(Seriously though I wont describe what driving to Lee's place was like

)

Stunning

Nice one James. Bet Tracey is chuffed - or are you wrapping it up for Christmas?

Thanks for all the comments guys
