Jack Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Do you remember this? Then how about this? Thanks to Kev and Jerry's help on Saturday I am now not far from completion. Full report will be up in the blog after the weekend and again, thanks to Kev and Jerry for doing the welding on the bulk head........and for the tips :oops: :oops: Quote
fv1609 Posted April 5, 2006 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! Quote
sirhc Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 The paint always makes you feel like you're getting somewhere with a project. Looking good! Chris Quote

Degsy Posted April 6, 2006 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
