Yeah over the moon, so glad its home!

We'd booked the trailer to pick it up, and they didn't have time to do it. We took the descision to take it to save another journey and trailer hire etc...

Thank You all for the positive comments, really gives me some enthusiasm to get it back together. I've booked next week off work, and ordered a new wiring loom, £240 ouch.

don't nib it back too much, in case you go through as you don't know
how much paint they've put on, use paper around 2000 grit takes
a bit longer to nib down but safer.. hire a pro compound mop.
