as promised some pictures of our trip home  :cool:

About to set off


Rolling shot


Parked up taking a break






Almost home


No more shots as we settled down to a well deserved bacon and egg butty - big thanks to Rach, Dave's wife for that :afro:

then Dave kindly swapped the coolant on my car  :smiley:

i'll be having the Recaro interior after giving it a good scrub and a clean - got a small wear to repair too but not overally bothered at the moment

Major work will be starting in the new year on the conversion - first comes the planning  :smiley:
