A quick catchup for the last year.
So this is probably where we started from..
Ross threw a lot in the bin. Just some of the trimmings.
And what we had which looked OK..well it was crap too.
But Ross soldiered on.
And on..
And on
And it started to come together.
And eventually..
And while this was happening, a milestone for my silver 4.2.
Looking pretty on new wheels and tyres.
Complaints
Craig says I neeed to update more frequently.
I shall comply.
3.8 coupe boot floor off
Wiper motor wiring
3.8 coupe body shell
Everything in front of the wheel arches is new.
And no prizes for guessing the fate of the boot floor and rear guards. Everything behind the wheel well goes too.
