Bert, you'll be living in your garage soon.
The drive looks really good.
Or have you made the garage so good that it's the new club house and your drive is for the show and shine 😄

I used garage door enamel on the wheel arches as it is a really tough paint,and it was £5 can  :wink:
And good old hammerite smooth on the floorpan,2 coats on both,the diesel tin top had 2 coats of hammerite on the arches 5 years ago,still mint,good paint

Those new shoes in the background will look really good on the cabby (I am biased though).
