Hey All, well a few days with some mates from DSK up at Valla i came home to a weeks holiday and decided to throw some paint around.
Its difficult to try and blend repairs and keep existing patina put I've tried my best.
Pushing for Xmas rego now i have gone back to self employment and will now be home more.

Sorry fellas I’ve been busy brewing moonshine lol.
Apart from getting two front doors to fit majority of the body is painted.
Blending is pretty good,it’s just been a mission to get panels to fit properly as this thing sat for years with no roof and it had bent chassis in the rear.
I’ve fitted the rock n roll bed and have started fitting interior.
Wiring was also missing so I’ve had to sort that out as well.
Getting closer and I hope to be done by June/July.
