Eyes are starting to go + my back,knees and other body parts lately though and trying to go into semi-retirement mode just doing quotes and working the odd shutdown. Unfortunately too much work and not enough decent manpower at the moment.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like theres no rule (that I know of) that states how deep a number plate can be Cant wait for the finished product to be on the ute then you can sit back and enjoy!
