Stunning as usual Lawrie, absolutely stunning.

But the last one.....ok, until the next one. Mate you are just too good at these restorations to stop, they are an absolute credit to your skill and patience
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

Sorry Milts, that really IS the last one!!

Numb-nuts here has dropped a king sized bollock however, poured a bit of fuel in yesterday, a drip or two ran down the tank & started to dissolve my carefully applied white pinstriping. :furious:
Didn't realize at the time about the quality of paint, obviously NOT fuel proof, got to get it off & do it again.

Many thanks for kind comments fellas.
