![]() no i didn't go but it's usually worth the visit. any chance of posting a bigger picture of your Bug Smithy ? At the moment I am doing the wiring loom I just put the seats in as the ones that came with it was a bit shabby to see what they looked like they are now nice and safe I have tried to load a spray booth shot hope it works.  |
