Looks good! love that blue, but i like the orange even more! It got the attention of that family walking past anyway :lol:

Was that blue a standard colour?

Tidy! Nice looking resto / build. I wouldn't have that colour but it does look awesome. I'm hankering after a dark metallic grey. The colour a lot of tin tops came as standard for mine next.

Love the arches too. Really tidy, and kinda 'neat' build. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
