Well just short of two years and 250 man hours but the old girl is just about ready to back out of the shed under its own power. Flashed the motor up the other day (take note of the temp fuel tank left hand side of gearbox) ran like a charm not bad considering it hasn't been started for two years. Bar the skirts, pintle hook and canvas I think I've got just about everything to finish it now. It's been a steep learning curve now time for the "final push". Here's a couple of pic's for those interested, regards Shaun.

Great stuff Shaun.

'Steep learning curve'...I'm sure your a better for it.

"All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land"

Nice job. I see it has the old internal Jerrican stowage brackets.

G'day All, It's starting to look good Shaun, isn't that Bronze green a b***h to apply (when your not a spray painter LOL), I have a spare set of skirts that I bought some time ago and are excess to my needs. Lady only did 28 miles last year so I don't think I will be needing them anyway keep at it, do something to it everyday and you will knock it over cheers mate Dennis
PS I fell off my project yesterday evening I'm bloody sore this morning and have to go to work this arvo

Dennis I hope the project you fell off wasn't higher than a metre or two? Although it might qualify you for a couple of night shifts off sick. As for the Bronze Olive I totally agree with you. What I learn on this one but might make 112 776 easier (non relective matt green, looking good). As for this one I'm going to have to revisit the paint work, its not the best effort. I'll PM you about the skirts, regards Shaun
