I went to see Drew and Stuart today to see poppy. I have a load of pictures but I am running out of time so I will post them up sunday night.
Needless to say I spent 3 hours with them looking at my bus and chatting.
My face HURTS from smiling so much. I tried to play it all cool when I arrived and looked at another bus they are working on but I lasted about 2 minutes before I said I needed to see poppy. OMG seriously she is so straight, so perfect. So amazing.
I want to have their babies. I am in love with my bus all over again. Looking at the lines in the roof. Holy crap the pictures I posted do not do it justice.
The long panel. It is so straight and true. I defy anyone to tell me they have a straighter bus.
If you are thinking about getting your bus restored. There are people out there that can do it quicker, cheaper, dearer etc. But tract me if you want a top job, carried out by enthusiastic people look no further than midland paintwerks. when I was looking around to get poppy done I spoke to a lot of people. some cheaper, some dearer. But I knew after speaking to Stuart I wanted them to do the work. I had looked at a lot of buses before shortlisting. From the first time I spoke to Stuart I knew they had passion in what they did.
So to the point. Has it been worth it? Its taken a lot longer than planned as pretty much every panel on poppy has been damaged. I hadn't taken into account any repairs to accident damage so the final bill has been significantly higher than planned.
Without hesitation. YES. YES. YES.
