Thanks John , how is your car coming along at the body works?

Sputz , thanks for that , hope I can get the topside to match now :lol:

Was a long two weeks , put a few hours into it , and I would be happy if I could paint and draw something as cool as you do in two years 8) :lol:

Am happy about the engineering side too , one less thing to worry about .

Seam sealed all the joints last night in the floor and then on the weekend will start the bodywork .
