steviem Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Hi Jerry, I think I only need two patches to the front floor so hopefully i can keep much of the original if possible. But there again I am totally new to this so god knows until I start the tub. I could however send you the tub to as well not sure if you enjoy the bodywork side of resto`s.

Chris Hall Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I guess the long tube is possibly bilge water as it appears to be attached to a power take off pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
