so excited 
Fitted my new door today. Just a general tidy up left to do now on the bodywork then get it stupidly clean on friday/saturday ready for the convoy down on sunday!
Was meant to have a new semi-smooth boot for pvs but the bodyshop has let me down at the last minute so I don't think it will be done in time, gutted.

I need to fit suspension that is being delivered this week, and replace a very visible cable tie on my boot for a proper fastener.
And two small things need painting.
And it'll hopefully get another clean next Friday/Saturday

Really am annoyed at the guy He promised me it would be done for friday, went to collect it and it hadnt even been started. So he said he will try and do it next week, what really pissed me off is that he new I needed it for pvs weekend. If he had of said he was too busy I could have took it somewhere else but its too late now.
Gonna try and use it to my advantage and get some ££ taken off the bill

Booked up all week and finishing lunchtime Friday - to give me time to empty the van, wash it and refill it with "essentials" and stock 
Then clean all your cars over the weekend, then come back Sunday evening, empty van, refill it with normal valeting gear, wash it again then back on it for another 6 days work!

Cleaned my wheels today properly for the first time in ages and it seems the dirt has eaten away at the white paint Going to see if i can get it painted this week! Cars going in the bodyshop on the 11th so will be a mess for PV.
Things that need sorting are..
Rattling exhaust
Blowing exhaust
Idling problems
Sticky throttle body
Damn good clean inside and out!
