i didnt clay it, Dan did. Lol. Was so worth spening the whole day doing it, im over the moon with it now. Apart from the wheels (witch I hate)

So after 7 hours hard graft the car was looking like new!
I treated it to some new number plates as the old ones were wonky and scruffy.
Then we went out for its first 'shakedown' road test. We did 50 trouble free miles around near us. It highlighted a few things that need doing. Only small...
