Loverley!

Nice job on the b-pillar backdate too. I love that colour, it's very cool. Exciting stage.

Must organise a weekend for you to come down and you can start all over again on mine! :) Towards the end of October / early November?

I was hoping to pick the car up today but ended up back to late to sort it. But I did pop round to have a look.

I am grabbing the trailer tomorrow and she should be back in her bedroom.
Shell looks fantastic. Now to the good bit, putting all the nice clean and shinny bits back on.

Whoop whoop - it looks so much better than it did 368 days ago!

Time very well spent :wink:

Looking great John, I imagine any spare time will be spent in the garage now! Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Ha very tempting as it is I think it will be staying as a little 2.2E. Happy with it's narrow hips.
