fesm_ndt Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I wouldn't mind ripping mine down that far but only have a 2 week window for paint. Any specific areas I should look for rot? Mine was painted around 8 years ago I think. The tray has some rot as had the box on it for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many hands plus a sand blaster (I may have to see if anyone is around Duxford that can give it a blast. yep I can see my 2 week trip to the UK to prep and paint mine to be a hard slog. Just writing a list for my mechanic so he can start of finding/fixing the problems. What seats you got in the front and do they have lap belts fitted? I like where the pioneer toolkit is mounted, from other pictures on Facebook Edited June 11, 2013 by fesm_ndt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fesm_ndt Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Bring it to the War & Peace Revival in July and we'll give you a hand!! I thought I might be there by then but time flies way to fast now, plus buying all the missing and or desirable bits has put a dent in my budget. Would have been sweet to do War and Peace. But so far still organising parts and haven't started on the mechanicals at all yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
