Pictures definitely make it look better than it is.
There is some green staining on the SG, very patchy but I’m hoping that I can wet and dry it out but if not it will just be showing its past a bit.
Either way I’m well happy with it
Hopefully get the nose done tomorrow after work

Yep white house paint on the roof, I kind of like it as it is but has PG under. Still undecided about the roof. I guess I just don’t hate it like the green!
Inside has been painted around the rear door openings in brown house paint but not alot so should come off also on edges of the doors
The cab has been painted over with a paint very similar to SG but is a bit flakey so should also clean off. The dash has lots of surface rust with the paint so will clean it up and then decide if It needs to be repainted or not but I think it should be sweet to leave as is. Hasn’t been chopped about so all good really.

Ok its looking awesome
But, can we do the under door sill and floor before you go and turn it around
Come down one night next week and I’ll make you an inner sill, I found an outer sill in the shed out back so you can have that as well
Also found some more floor sections that you can use
Let’s get the cargo doors shutting, pick a day and I will come and help

Yep thats the plan Wiz, I will be getting the welding done soon!
Cheers for the offer mate, I have inner & outer sills already. But floor sections I may need some bits maybe, I’ll let you know
First I need to remove the axles so thats the next job then get back on the cutting and welding.

Yes Big Dave. This paint reveal is more inspiration than you need to power on.

A resto-off it is then…..

Bid Dave v OG Matt, loser gets more grief for not finishing within 16 years.
