I wouldn't quite go as far as what edweird said but I'm hoping its going to turn out pretty nice.

Cheers for your comments, I'm enjoying building it, but when other people like it as we'll, that's even better. Still lots to do.

Cheers

Ian

;) lol

Every build I've seen on here has been great in its own way. I'm just taking my time, mainly cos I haven't got much of it lol.


Right, been doing a bit, not a great deal. Nothing exciting. I'll get. Some pics next time. Too dark

Made a new bracket for the trailer electrics for the tow hitch, as the original one I had crumbled away, oh also wired the new electric socket ready to wire into the lights (when they are done)

I've got the black paint to finish off the rear, but I'll do that another day cos it's so cold and dust about from cutting the floor.

Just got the floor cut for the back so that's in place ready to be bolted on, just not yet because it will be easier to do the wiring ect with it off.

Just perfected the hinges ect so it all shuts properly and doesn't snag on the catches, so these are ready to be painted.

I've ordered a few bits for another plan I've got, but I'll keep that under wraps until its done, lol

And we put together my dads new sand blaster and sandblasting cabinet, which in my opinion he's bought about 2 years to late :argh: .

Until next time

Ian

sides stained, cab on and mostly painted apart from the side your looking at.  decided to paint it with a brush, came out quite good, there are little bits which need a wet and dry and another coat, where marks in the original paint can be seen, even tho it was sanded down.

Awesome build. The cab looks spot on too. If i can make space i'd like to strip my KJA down to the chassis. Or even just get it taxed and take it for a drive.

Very tidy work been done all round it bud, bet your well chuffed with how it's looking.

September 2011 I started this, looking back through the photos, I didn't realise how much ive done to it since I first had it, it was a bit of a mess looking back. but just noticed some photos are missing from the beginning of the build and some have lines through them. strange.

now the cabs on it looks a bit more real, if you know what I mean. Im very happy with it so far, looking back at what it was lol

cheers

Ian
