    Matt's S3 Game - Restoration Picture Blog

    Hello peoples

    I thought I would create a picture blog of the restoration of my series 3 Game.

    I picked him (Toby) up in Tassie in 2016 with the intention of just getting him on the road. But with a knackered Nissan diesel and unable to source parts somehow the plan snowballed into a full restoration!

    Some people may disapprove of the fact I'm not keeping it original, I'm not and it was a decision that I didn't make lightly.

    Anyway hopefully it is useful for others?..
