Thanks for the comments guys,yes as above everything is off the car,more pics to follow very soon.
Yes Mark will do a top job I have no doubt about that.I would never have trusted my car with him if I thought otherwise.Mark is a very honest and trustworthy guy which does help a little when I let him loose on my cossie.
