  6. Wouldn't it be better to paint before glass?

    Ignore that I just re-read and saw you have some on

    I'd love to have had the time to paint the whole thing before glass but I just haven't had the time. It's getting a rough coat everywhere as it's going to be kept outside (under a cover). Bodywork is another project that I'll tackle later. I'm just desperate to get it on the road now. As long as it's watertight and driving for now I'm happy lol

    Got the loom repaired and all shrinkwrapped. Also stuck a 7core cable along its length for future proofing. Was going to slap 2 lengths in but my measurements were a bit off lol.
    Isn't it mad how unforeseen costs mount up.
    1 calliper knackered.
    Adjustable track rod jobbie broken
    The beam I put on was an early so new 72> spindles needed (anyone need some >72 spindles btw?)
    New headlights
    All new bolts nuts etc for brakes and suspension
    Another set of shocks as the Ines I bought years ago were wrong
    My wallet hurts :easter:

    Seriously mate. It looks like you are moving on and it isn't too far away from usable vehicle. Is that brake fluid on the cab step. What are you thinking of doing with the dizzy, are you going electronic or staying with the points?
