done a bit over the weekend,fitted strut-brace and replaced a couple of broken lip clips on the front valance.the bonnet is on but needs lining up properly.i drove it [only in my street] and i can get all the gears etc also fitted the steering linkage and what a horrible job that was i lost the will to live after this and still have the new zaust to fit and finish off 3 wheels that are all prepped up. it's fallen behind schedule a bit but not by much.

[magpie]

oi alex,you can come and get any odds nd sods you need for the cab,wing bolts,clips etc .

you can have the rear console you need,it should clean up ok.

More 24v shaped goodies?

175's on the rear will liven things up mate.
