Thanks guys and thanks for the offer Nige. At the moment I think I'm just about there. If I can get a sun visor on tomorrow morning I'm happy going to CLM like that

As I said elsewhere, the car has a reputation to uphold 8)

Congrats Mark, really look forward to seeing the car, you've done an amazing job.

Even with the fresh paint and non-perforated panels it will always remain DDK's favourite car.....

Awesome! 8)

That's the spirit, just get out and drive it now. You've certainly earned a good road trip, and where better than CLM!
I hope you also find a moment to post some pix with the graphics before you go
