afraid not, it has three holes, one on the very top of the back, and one two inches in from where you'd sit - almost dead centre. Brad is going to recover once he gets here. Love the colour though!

Have spent the last couple of weekends on her with Carl.

Underbody has been seam sealed, and stone guarded - plus - wait for it...

Now has colour on the underside!

moves into the paint shop this week, so should have colour by Friday!!

stone guard/rust prevention. As this is going to be a daily driver, I have elected to use a really light stone guard underneath. Good enough for porches, good enough for me.
