Jordi - Its coming on great.

I have to get round to pulling my finger out and start some work on mine.
Painting the spare doors first, then changing them over.

So i havn't done anything for weeks other than make lists of things to do.

It has two nice holes in the floor, weld em up
Weld up and strengthen front bumper properly
Ive acquired a CB, fit it!
Plate hole in the bonnet
Paint the front end
Snorkel
Underseal
Spot lights to fit
90amp alternator conversion
Fit the 410 t-box thats bn sat on the floor for weeks
Poss make rear wheel arches quick release

I have the stuff to do nearly all of that. Just one problem, how do i make extra days in a week?

Well, finally i've bn allowed a day off and as its not far off MOT time i've decided to start on the small jobs i bodged for its last one. Line the huge holes in the bonnet. Ground out, plated, primed, painted.

Also done a hole in the floor cut it out. Plated. Undersealed.

I have a few little jobs to do before test so i thought i shud start now. Photos to follow.
