yep, that's what I meant

probably have to look abroad for a suitable donor, but I think price would be the issue.

Really and lovely job, love to see older stuff getting converted into new

 

[moggy1968]

so, back to the garage on Friday.



The chassis is back from being blasted and painted, looks effin gorgeous!

Just waiting for the refurbished spring pads and shackles form Andy Lomas before the axles can be reattached, then, we have a rolling chassis

The custom rear bumper has been reprofiled to improve departure angles.

[moggy1968]

Hurry up!!!

That's what I keep telling them!!
original completion date was August, but I made the mistake of not telling them what year

still, would rather get it done right than quick

Yes, a common mis-communication between client & contractor!!!

 

[moggy1968]

so, back to the garage today, probably about 2 weeks from completion now, can't wait!!
