cheers for the elaborate response mate. much appreciated. I have a mate looking is all. Can you provide comment on paint please? ie is it thin and getting to the point it needs a respray as a form of 'maintenance' before it goes down the patina path?
i know he's not looking to spend 20k odd, and then another 10k -15k on a respray. I've told him he could buy a fairly neat sandman for that.
