Works a treat fella! Now I know why ours has got a blister on the "C" post Is that a Rover P6 I see up in the air, in front of your van?

Thats looking really good Dai.
Looking forward to seeing it finished.
Russel

wow looking good dude

Looking really good. Liking the window panel and is the plan still to put a locker in the lower section? Will it be ready for early march as were having a devon meet and would be good to see you both and the van.

Excellent work.

Aren't you going to incorporate a SIPS in case you meet another hostile two wheeled road use?
Good work Dai!
Doug

Looks really good

Good panel work fella, I'd give it a new home once you've finished it.
I do remember how attached to it you said you are though.
so I won't be holding my breath waiting for the call.
How’s that car going?
Bet it don't see another winter before you rip its heart out!
Or has it already met the reaper?

top banana Dai

That is very satisfying to see a syncro being put right, well done Dai. seeing how many rear coil spring lift plates you have reminds me I need to get the a*** end of mine off the floor.

Dai...What is the total lift on the plates you have there? I want to lift the Doka but not sure to use plates or new Trailmaster Springs.
