Any joy on the rest of the photos???
Looks like a nice little project with all the usual suspects being attended to.

This is as far as we've got.
Almost there - another 6 weeks or so I think.
Brakes need a complete overhaul, engine needs checking over, interior needs finishing.
As much as I like the look of it - never again will I start a project like this

Yeh, I'm chuffed to bits with it so far. It took me a long time to settle on the colour, but really pleased how it has turned out.
It's been a long time off the road now - too long, but shouldn't be much longer now.
