Come on Al, get the thing in paint and stop beating around the bush Just paint it yourself - you have plenty of skill to make a nice job of it

I am ashamed I have not done any polishing since I saw you...

[alex g]

i am renting half a garage of a mate not ideal but ok.yer polishing is a hard thing to get started on , but the resukts make you keep going and are well worth it
