    looking good Paul, huge difference!

    Love the old stone buildings you're based in, I wonder what memories and stories they hold!!
     
  13. Cheers Mork :thumbsup:


    So today I've spent prepping the inside for primer... been a long day, as I've only been in around 45mins... Had to bare metal a big chunk of the inside, as it had been brush painted, and it was on too hard to use the razor scraper on it!!

    I'll let the pictures do the talking!! ;)
