I thought it would be a good idea to start a progress thread to keep track of work on Rosie.

Here she is as she was purchased last Sunday 12 May 2013 with 100k miles, full service history with receipts and all MOTs, 2 previous owners, highline nav headunit, tv tuner, rear parking sensors and highline IPK:

I've been fairly flat out with work so other than a good interior clean, I haven't been able to offer her much in the way of personal attention yet.
