fv1609 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Jack That's excellent work, the climax of the restoration is when you go into the showground with it for the first time & heads turn to see what you have been working on. Well done. Always show the public pictures of what it was like before you started, I think they believe these vehicles just pop out of a crate!

Degsy Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Nice one Jack, don't be in too much of a rush to put the markings on, let the paint dry thoroughly in case the white reacts with the OD. We had to repaint the bonnet on the Jeep due to this even tho' it had been left several days and appeared to be dry. :oops: Cheers Degsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
