Looks brilliant Mike. Will look great once built for sure.
You were lucky to get some sun these days.
Nice tyres those Vedestriens, though I do see it says for dry conditions. Be no good up here then :)

Sadly not.
Which reminds me, got to go to Tesco with the forks to get some nail varnish for any emergencies!
Best to do before I build it up.
