Brilliant. Well done!

Is the first shot the prayer that everything will go well before the event, or of thanks after the event.....sorry I couldn't help myself.

Congratulations. Nothing is more satisfying than finally driving it. It looks like an early 54 or did you make it a single wiper? Looks great.

Not really a prayer.  I didn't plan to go so far i couldn't push it home.  Just hard to fit the photo .

To be honest I sometimes end up in that position after I've emerged from the car, and need a little rest before I summon the energy to straighten up again!😇
