I wonder if that is in Sandhills just outside Liverpool center?? Under the old rail tracks...
I used to work out that way in O'Connell tyres. The wagon wheels were nearly as big as me.
Looking at other picks looks like a train station with stations, there's a load of abandoned cars there, and its disused, and was a garage after
 
Compared to some of the cretins in the UK the French are good.:p I can walk the city here with no fear of being mugged or stabbed which is more than I could do where I lived in the UK.
I never had that fear, even when I lived in Hounslow or Salford. Neither of which have stellar reputations.
 
Steering wheel finished..

5 coats of Rustins varnish applied to the wood "fnarr" ;)

This was lightly sanded to remove any rises, and allow the varnish to adhere..

After the varnish - I'd add also the leather has had a leather sealant added to it, which is a necessity with dyed leather!

While I was under mine I noticed the boots on the tie-rod have gone. It isn't even that old. Not impressed. It was Lemforder too.
 
She's such a glorious colour. Every time I see her I get jealous
Thanks very much ;)
The biggest and to be honest only reason for buying her was the colour, my eyes seemed to gloss over the "niggles" being it is my favourite shade of blue, coupled with the fact that only a handful of P38's were painted Monte Carlo Blue Micatallic ;)

She's special ;)

Lots of people wonder why i polish the living daylights out of it ;)

I'm probably a bit nutty, but the blue once scrubbed up is worth the effort IMO ;) :)
