Kit Collected ... lots of boxes full of unknown bits!

Friday 9th October
We leave Cricklade at 6am for the 1.5hr trip to Westfield allowing time for the mandatory truckers breakfast en route.  Arrive at the factory just after they open at 8am.  More reversing required into the loading area ... this time with no incident (I'm starting to get used to this!).
The guys then start loading the van ... hmmm seems like a lot of boxes of car parts, most of which don't look very familiar! 
Meanwhile armed with camera I start taking pictures of a part built car covering all angles, pipe routes, wiring etc. on the basis that it might be a good reference for my build.
The loading took a couple of hours so we were back on our way just after 10am.  The trip back home was pretty quick with no major hold ups. 
Time to unload ... 
                                          we filled this ...


... with the contents of this ...


... and ended up with this (plus a lot of boxes in the loft!)





Now where is that build manual?
