Thank you monkeyman, your kind words touch my cold heart.
I retrieved my camera from work today, and have some pictures! all be it not very interesting ones
I thought I'd taken more of the polishing stage but it seems not, here's one of the roof
I black waxoyled the underside too
Then I got busy with some vinyl paint on my grey trim..
I had to replace the O/S output shaft seal, as it was p*ssing out oil all over the floor. I've had a bit of brown paper under the engine for a week now, not one oil drip to be seen! (yes I did remember to put oil back in )
I've also sorted out the shocking rear camber by filing the holes in the radius arm mounts, and did a few other jobs. Fitted the screen after mucho struggling with the wider type seal, went in in the end! It's now finished apart from fitting the interior, which should be ready for the weekend! I'll then be giving it a good ol' wax, then I'll upload some proper pictures!

that roofs finish is stunning!!
a quick question, did you use this waxoyl LINK or is it a shultz gun type?
loving your work as always
I used this stuff CLICKY
Much better than convention body shutz, as it dries much flatter, normal body shutz is a bit thick and looks quite bodgy! 3 of those tins was plenty.
