Steve_Smith Unregistered S	That's great, thanks Will publish wish list soon. Popped to see a mate who runs a body shop today. Will start next month at a sedate pace, probably 4-5 days a month. Plan is to strip her right back and put everything right first time around. Have got 12 months-ish in my mind
