fantastic; though 5 seconds after going off-road you ain't going to be able to see out of the side-windows :D

Wondered how long it would take - spoke to Steve (Red convertible) a while back now when you first thought about it.

Loving the Fessy - it was my screen saver for a while, snapped it at the Roundhills WA, also see it everyday at
Lea Rd

Well done on this project - bit bigger than "Little Foot" but i'm sure you'll end up with with smiles per miles.

^^ Plus, if you want to create a project i'm guessing you'd want to make it last longer than 6 months before it fell apart with rust

The odds of two people doing that are.. about as likely as two people putting a cossie lump into a touring!
