Hi All

I drive past this every day and noticed that it looked awful today I know its really popular with folks getting restoration work done.

Sorry to be the bearer  of bad news

Oooh Nooo!! Thats awful!

Feel sorry for the company they always seemed to be doing really well.

I take my hat off to them, they seemed to be always working long hours. I have a 14 hour day and they were often there both times I went past.

Such a shame for a small company. Hope they get back on track soon =)

Maybe they can be repaired, if the person cares that much about them. Youd think such a company would have suppresion systems in place.
