Ready for a shock... Worse than it looks I promise. I’ll have the tubes off on Thursday, then the work begins!

Whoa...
That right there is a hell of a 'before' picture! Can't wait to see her when she's finished. [emoji108]

Ha ha. That’s what I thought when I saw it. Having used Tornados for 28 years and seen one retubed a few years back I know it’ll be worth it (I hope...)!

Who is retubing her? I've heard good things about Atlantic Composites in Bunbeg, Donegal.
