Tom i've just read your thread from the start, it's coming together well - the underneath looks brilliant.

Wayne you've done a good job with those door gaps it's not easy to get good results.

When do you think you'll start laying down some colour?

hopefulley the end of next week ( all being well ) was hoping for a full day to day but 4 poeple booked in last nigth and i need to keep the money coming in at the mo as i have only been up and runin 2 weeks now on my own so need to pay the bills lol.

got an hour on it this morning to do the filler bits on the door skin ( just to take out sum hammer mark's ) then need to finnish the filler on the qurt panel same on the other door then the big job sorting out that dam roof ( not lookin forward to that bit ) as that will be a pain in the ass . so may be sum o/t for me i think

[ToM 2012]

hi mate any pictures? and whats o/t meen? thanks tom
