Today saw a wee bit of shopping for paint, Shug had the same idea as I met him in the shop lol

Then, battery fitted, handbrake refitted and seats. Even managed to get it running for the first time in about 10 weeks, started first time without a blip, good old 300tdi.



Lookin good

Don't have the sound proofing yet. The stuff I took off was glued on and came off in a thousand pieces lol

I'll get round it some day, winch too!

After a bit of  faffing about its now ready for the MOT.

Had to mess around replacing the fuel tank etc but all that's left to do is the nice bits. Paint the rest of the panels, new door hinges & seals and maybe some proper sound proofing but these things aren't desperate.

What is desperate is getting it back out, very soon!

12 weeks later!

What's your thoughts?





Bearing in mind it looked like this,

Far better, a lot less clostrophobic inside.  :) :) The paint looks good as well, have to have a go at mine to freshen it up a bit.
