Re: Rusty Mangoes
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.

Re: Rusty Mangoes
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.
