iam the same beef in my eyes a quick job is never a good job you can never tell this to customers anytime someone wants something done it has to be done yesterday and a 100 mile an hour i allways say to customers if you exspect a totally mint job then ul need to give me a few days on it quick jobs are never as good as they shld be i dnt care what people say but any powder shop that can turn a set of wheels over in a day arent giving them the full potenial they shld have anyway loving the work as per keep the updates coming

small update of a tasty little item that turned up the other day
if you look hard enough you can just make out Spesh in the background half way through doing his `i`m a little teapot routine`
spesh has done loads more but i not got pics myself
Beef promises to do a bigger update later this week......
