Decided that my T4 is now too good for use as a daily driver and deserves to be 'retired' for weekend leisure use only so I'm heading to the auctions tomorrow to pick up a Caddy for my 'winter project' so here's another thread I'll be subscribing to....

Looking good so far buddy and I'm not a million miles from you either so we'll be able to compare notes!

Best of luck with the conversion.
