OBO Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Just introducing myself to you Guys & Gals. Name is Russell but most folk call me OBO (Long story). Have been a member since 2022 but have just purchased a SEIW from @Rednop1 so thought I had better get some cash out and pay for membership. Great site and ton's of information. Got some plans for the car including change of colour. Whittled down to Powder Blue/Baby Blue or Emerald Green & Gold stripes. Still mulling. Dash change on the way also as I don't like the contoured dash. Will share some pics as I go along as we all like a piccy. Regards everyone.
