Blimey, that's tidy. Must have taken a load of work to achieve that.

About 3 years, outsourced more than I would normally do, (body and paint) but 2 heart attacks and a very full time job have slowed me down.

I also have the XKER so my driving time is shared, and both aren't driven as often as I would like. I am hoping to attend the Sandown race course event on Saturday the 3rd Sept with both cars, (Son driving the Lightweight). If your local pop over for a chat.
