Thanks for all the kind words Fella's.

It's well on the way now, hoping to get her on the road in a few months all being well.

Shed slab gets laid next week and then a few days later it's new home will go up. Hoping to tie things in and get it home to start the running gear etc.

lots of questions still to ask of you all so as has been said, watch this space.

Dion,
My good man, indeed lots of beer ....real soon I reckon, real soon

Hey Wurzel
I reckon leave the tractor tyres on, fit a 5 bar gate in the back, park up and it's perfick for leaning on while wearing a smock, chewing straw and drinking scrumpy.

Hello mate, where you been hiding ?

Was thinking of fitting up a rotating blade system up front and having my own combine harvester.....

Pop round mate, coffee is always on.

I've been hiding behind a bundle of project/design paperwork the size of the EU butter mountain.
I'll drop a text you're way.

Thought I'd show a few more pics and try and keep it updated.
Drivers side pretty much done and ready for paint.
This side had inner / outer sills, jacking points, outriggers and some work in the wheel arch.

Dove blue goodnessss

Passenger side started now

And my shed base went down on Monday, it's a only a pup compared to some i've seen pics of on here but it's 6.5 x 3.5 so not to bad, enough space for the SC and all my stuff.

My bay clears the really steep drive, there will be no problem for you. It's an excuse to lower even more.
