Exact workshop dates and project duration were not supplied. Day 0 marks arrival; later entries use honest stage names instead of invented dates.
Important clarification
The finished styling is described as Classic S11-style. The vehicle remains a 2013 Scorpio LX; restoration or styling work does not change its registered model year.
