hi mate, thanks :) its been a good project and its basically a new car. spent silly amount on it but only live once so got to enjoy it,

and mastiffs are ok to work on apart from electrics as all armour but really good job and have saved so many lifes,

you a mechanic as well and if dont mind the sun and smell of poo join, afghans the only downfall.
