Yep that's him, I feel a bit like Eric Pearse with the late news now, who would of thought Facebook could be used for good instead of evil, stopped looking at Facebook coz it was full of negative people, but maybe I have to get rid of those and replace with this type of stuff, wow learned two things in one day, new roofs and Facebook good stuff !

$1845 + GST for a new roof including gutters seems pretty reasonable IMHO.

Plan on saving the roof as it looks pretty good in the gutters at this stage and just fix the bumps and hollows and a big roof patch in the middle it's got to good of patina to replace ha ha
So the question is how deep do u dig for rust when doing rat patina resto
Take the out riggers for example 1 is rooted but the rest seem solid but u just know that it properly worst in there when u start cutting them out
Same for the dogs legs few patches on the inside they seem good, how much do u way up the shit repros that need cutting and shutting to fit well against og paint and og dogs leg

the good thing about the repop pieces is that they can supply well formed sections to repair old metal. I try to use as much OG metal as possible and use repop to patch OG sections.

Nothing to exciting going on but it's all got be done
Removed all the front door hinges and one cargo door hinges, they were stuck solid and as I don't have a oxy it was the drill,weld, spray and let cool down and then unscrew with multi grips.
All but 1 came out, 1 snapped of which then required the same process again
Also had to do rear hatch and engine lid the same way a couple weeks back
Cheers
