yesterday (thursday 30/3 ) i desided to pull the owd smoker estate into the garage for a quick freshen up, i thought ive got 5 week to dress it up a bit before the lakes,, maybe a quick service and the odd patch for the looming mot,,the first 2 pics are from yesterday,,and then the sh-t hit the fan as i got a bit of grinder rage,,, the rest of the pics are whats left today oops ,,, and the clocks ticking :violent1:
