Daisy 1973 full resto "5 years on"

Was up and out at 5am towed it down ready as has the key to the paint shop (bless him) spent Hours masking it up !!!! And panel wiping ect and had a hand mixing the paint and a guy helped my paint the body ect I did the rest and he was impressed as no runs at all !!!! It's all done after a 12 hour shift and left in in the oven over night as he said I can use the whole body shop for the day tomoz ..... such a game changer !!! I'll try get a12 hour day on it it flating it back will make such a difference with all his equipment!!! Now for rest and a few gins and a nights rest !!! Early start again tomoz

Would certainly make a breakdown call out interesting.

 

No, you'd need a trailer board or working lights and indicators on the towed vehicle!
