    How I got it

    Getting it ready for daily duties (was my daily when I started my apprenticeship)

    Quick tidy up

    Parked up with dads

    My paintjob v1 in progress

    Bit more done

    How V1 paintjob came out (wasn’t happy with it, both paint and not being hq front)

    Eyelids

    No longer a daily driver so fix the rust properly

    More rust repairs

    Now it looks like a hq again

    202 just didn’t cut it so out it came

    Tried and failed at matte paint

    The 308 just wasn’t quick enough either so I stepped it up a notch
