Have you decided on a paint colour/scheme yet?

Lol. Tbh I didn’t realise how big it would be!

Great progress as always mate.

Got another day on it today.  Someone previously had hacked out a piece of the side windows literally with an axe.  Can only think it was maybe cannibalised as a donor for another one at some stage.  Also, rust in the bottom of all the side pop-outs.  Had a relatively good donor cut so started making those repairs.  Also, came across an old pic…[Read more]
