We went back about 3 weeks ago to collect our spares etc. We must have had 4 inches of dust over our things, but Kim knew exactly where the bit were. Kim & Paul are just the same and have now expanded into a marquee area outside. I think there is a spray booth outside too in another bit of outbuilding.

It's definitely an awesome place the workshop and marquees are only half of it the smaller marquee is a sand blasting booth the larger marquee is mostly for service repairs and the 2 main workshops are for main resto projects. There is a bodywork and spray workshop the same size as the main workshop they pretty much own 50% of those work units and yard space there.
I stopped doing work for them in February this year when my other business got busy I pop in time to time mostly on the blag for knowledge, parts, tool, cuppa tea or all of the above lol always tempted to get involved while in there.

I'd love my engine to get the full works from Paul his own dubs are just insane don't look much but jeez they shift Very Happy haha
