So, a year on from the pictures above, and many shows and holidays later. The engine has given no issues whatsoever - very pleased! The interior was made by the PO, so it was time for a refurb. The pop-top also leaked a little, so that was on the cards for a rebuild over Winter too..... pics to follow...
Excellent stuff! Some nice work there too! Was the white paint, painted on with a brush or rattle can?
Rattle can mate. This is the link to the stuff I used. It's really good as it dries kind of rubbery. http://bit.ly/1lcHgJH
