Hi Dave

plan sounds good. A bit done each week and before you know, it, it will be ready to drive. Hard to imagine now perhaps but you will get there.

I am thinking of seeing a guy who makes panels in a week or so, to quote on the sections behind rear wheels.... Will let you know what happens.

thanks glenn much appreciated ..its pretty sad looking (those back gaurds ) ....but its in the plan .....cheers davo

HI Dave

many are sad in that area.... if its reasonable, possibly could get a few L & R made

Either this or next week i gave to go up that way so can call in. He's an ace panel maker..... had (maybe still) had a program on CH31 making panels etc
He did some work on a panel for my Hotrod that was difficult for me at the time

Glenn , Pls let me know if have any luck with those repair panels - I could do with a few .

Dave , good luck with the build . Looking back , If only I'd spent 5 minutes a day on my cars , they'd be all going !! (now I'll go home -cook tea - tv on - another day wasted )

Will do.....re panels.

I know what you mean re wasting days. Its oh so easy to do it tomorrow
