Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

Cheers. I'll see how much the quote is, it's arranged now and it's the person who fitted and looks after my alarm, so I don't want to cancel. Alarm still works after 23 years, never had a false alarm. I need to fit the London Bar and the longer screws into the side plates on the frame. Then I think...
