Well shes made it to work!
Had a slight mechanical issue expertly sorted by Chris Marshall, after cleaning out the inlet, removing the EGR, replacing the filters something was a miss.
The R40 isnt on currently as the donor car has run out of MOT so it wears its factory BJ05OZA plate
Had the wheels off to clean them, give the a quick tidy up (They need refurbishing asap), repaint the calipers, give the arches a good scrub and treat some surface rust and fit some locking wheel bolts plus the obligatory chrome tail pipes which slid nicely over the existing exhaust.
When time and funds allow I will upgrade the ICE as it still has the factory cassette and 6 disc which do work but a handsfree with NAV is always useful.
She drives well but the front tyres don't half drone and will need to be changed, I may go back to grid-spokes (which is what it had originallly).
I will get the dents pulled out, a full machine polish soon enough and a remap and maybe some nice upgrade (heated seats perhaps?)
