Looks awesome! Looks similar to a clubby I used to adore

[MaxAndPaddy]

I have a soft spot for these LEs and your work looks amazing but I'm guessing you aren't planning to reintroduce the palm tree motifs then

[Gunmetalmini]

Thanks guys,unfortunately no palm trees going on!i have left a good section of the floor in the original Tahiti blue though as it all the original floor so thought it was nice to keep a bit of the colour there,can't wait to get it on the road!

[MaxAndPaddy]
