Great work by you the the boys at reflex. Just a bit of tyre black and it's done.. Ha ha..

Who cares what it cost to build, that's between you and your wallet!

Just enjoy it now..

Look forward to seeing it at some point.

Pete.

Yes, I'll be there. I'm aiming for an early start so I get there with plenty of time to prep the van and get the fuel level down. I'm aiming for 7am but likely to be nearer half past.

So, I finally have the Caddy back. The verdict? Absolutely stunning. Doesn't feel like mine and I'm lucky there's any of it left with the vultures circling over head!! Dooka and I spent close to an hour just chatting and staring at the van. He has taken it to the next level with the finish. Another company involved with this project I can't rate highly enough. He went above and beyond to get it to this standard.

No pics of my own as it took longer than anticipated to get home - nervous of everyone else on the road doesn't come close to describing how sapped I feel! I'm exhausted from concentrating the whole way home like I've never done before. But its apparent we've (Reflex, APS, Dooka, me) created something that really draws attention, in a good way. Had people hanging out of their windows on the M25 to have a proper gawp!

I was following the other Dooka page on fb so didn't see any of his updates, and for anyone that cares to see a skilled craftsman at work, here are his pics

I've made up a display board which has a basic spec sheet and a few of the companies involved with the Caddy

Wow. The finish is amazing. I can understand how you felt driving it back. It is properly stunning. You should be very, very proud, bud!
