If I could have shown you photos from past of the garage there's been everything in there from unfinished projects of my brother to Dads Sheep lol. Dad's same but after years of clearing it out he accepted in end it's better to be tidy and serve a purpose other than storage xD
Thanks Marc, I had been waiting a long time to get it like this, as a daily it just was too much work to do without garage. Would highly recommend the mircofiber pads with DA for Trophy paintwork, so easy and got results I wanted. Amigo glaze is brilliant too :)

Some nice Decals ;)
Not used it much since last summer tbh, has become a bit of a garage queen xD
But it's not going anywhere mate, got list of jobs to do to tidy up things and tweeks here and there, hopefully aim to do a couple of trackdays towards summer/autumn and a bit of more regular use :)
I'm sure you could sell some advertising on the side of this red beast with the first photo of it, so many people (including me) impatiently waiting. Might be able to make a few £ haha.
