    Tapping into the endless money tree. It's worked so far, but the tree seems to be flagging :(

    Hopefully mate. It was seized a bit but it's turning now. That's the clincher. I'm skint now so can't afford a new engine this year. Seems weird buying headlights and paint lol

    It's going to be far from finished, just roadworthy. I've had to make do with some bits because I'm skint lol. I'll have to do the arches in a couple of years. And I reckon a new engine next year. All new brakes, clutch, lights. Alternator conversion. Load floor. Rear corners. Cills. Outriggers. And so on. Just can't wait to drive it!

    If he has a couple of genuine arches he doesn't want and is willing to deliver and fit them for free too I suppose I can take them if I have to. What you reckon @davidoft lol

    The payment in food and biscuits would be more than the value of the parts ;)

    Loom of doom? Sounds like a epitaph for the carpet industry in Kidderminster!

    Been over tonight to get a few bits sorted. Glass is going in next week so I've blasted some paint on the openings and started on the copious amounts of filler

    Sliding door looks a bit healthier. Fits and closes nicely. Needs a fair bit of filler though :(
