Lee, just had a read of the complete thread
and I have to say you have more patience than me
, you really have gone into great detail and have done the job properly
not easy when you have just started up on your own and have a little one as well. 
Can't wait to see the car in flesh
and as soon as I have got my own turbo/injectors fitment and remap out of the way I will be speaking to you about retrimming my seats and door cards in leather/alcantara.

he looks a little worse for wear and could do with a bit of a make over
think a hair cut with new clothes and smaller feet would be alot better for him
