i went to fetch him and we all piled up to my house to attack the caddy!!

i didnt get many progress pics, as we were all cracking on, but buzzer and stu managed to fit my exhaust, fuel tank, new pump etc...

AND SHE STARTED UP!!

Ok, not first time, but second!

And after not being run for years i was just astonished!
