Exactly.Been good watching the (fast) progress.Love the latest pics,you should both be proud you did a proper job.
Bet it's nice to have all the big jobs out the way with only cosmetics to worry about now.
Looking forward to the after-valeting pics...

I haven't really been following this thread, was the original faulty or is that an uprated one?
