Few more pics. Still got some of the repair panels to paint. It'll be far from finished for the Muddy Good weekend but it will be useable / driveable / road worthy. I am currently threatening the wife with half doors for 200 miles there and back.

I like how you've painted the bonnet and windscreen to look like they are covered in mud. :brows:

It's special paint. Really expensive.

Cheers Dan, don't think it'll look quite so impressive up close.

Love the yellow paint. Somehow it just makes the 410 grill look perfect! :doublethumbs:
