That looks like AB2CV's (Alan's) old Ribena :shock: If it is, it looks a good job as in a previous life it looked like it had been used as machine gun target practice in downtown Beirut :lol:

It certainly is!

I'll post some better pics up soon, the transformation is amazing.

Touchups in Glasgow did an amazing job - total perfectionists!
