Not a lot of progress but I did score my 1 missing og white pop out of Glynn ( green machine )
Thanks mate
Might even leave the old school sticker

So after getting a og piece with og bullet hole from my og paint drivers door that unfortunately got respray in aqua blue and threatening too cut/ hack it into my og paint euro/USA passengers door which is drivers in oz which prob ended up been the most expensive og paint door to come into aus thanks to covid I’ve decided to use this og paint cut into my temp gauge holder.
Now at this stage it looks like a grade 6 school art/craft project but hopefully I can turn this og paint piece into a bit of rusty gold craftsmanship that u might see on thesamba in the BD threads
How’s that for a bit of og paint talk matt
I also mounted my og micro bus sun-visors drivers and passengers
Baby steps but still progress I guess

Talking of grade 6, most grade 6 kids would have used more punctuation than one ‘full stop’ in those three paragraphs.

Just pointing out the obvious Farmer Boy.

At least I’m contributing to the forum

Totally agree Brad.

Things are pretty quiet on here and if not for a handful of you guys, maybe even less, members rides and projects would be null and void. It’s even gotten to the point where you would have noticed that I’ve turned a new leaf myself and now reframe from good old fashioned bullying and peer group pressure to try and get people in the shed to progress projects and contribute something. Yes, there are four ‘and’s in that sentence, too many but justified.

I’m all about encouragement, some will be disappointed, others relieved.

Your temp gauge will look cool with the saved patina surround.

Slight change in design of temp gauge holder,
I decided it would be a crime to cut this og mango piece from my og paint drivers door.

So decided to leave it a complete piece.

And keeping with the og mango paint metal theme, I boxed it in with og paint pieces from off cuts from the og outa cargo sill.
