Cheers for the support guys! Might even start another thread for that when were settled in and ive registered as a trader on here and i can put pics up of minis we have restored/are restoring, show what we offer and drum up some business!

Business and full time work has put hold to this for the short time, but i will do some more on it soon, i might even bring it home later and make some templates for the roof/rear screen area/front bulkhead etc so i can then transfer to steel and get the shell finished!

I dont use a sand sock, its all hammer work! I think people are slow to catch back onto this, it went mad for about 24 pages then i stopped working on it, but i think when people see its started again ill get more replys lol
I might even make the roof removeable, so i can service the engine from above as well as through the doors
