That’s what I was afraid of. If a pro can’t manage it then I’m stuffed!
Did they turn out ok though? |

| I think you might be right there. I’ve gone for the lanoguard on this occasion. I’m going to really enjoy spending the best part of a week under another one of my “classic” (old rusty) cars. |

I’ve recently bought a lovely Alfa 159 Sportwagon, but it is an old car and is in need of some rust protection.
