Rebuild update

I was feeling a bit left out with all the build updates

Just taken some pics of progress. i'm happy with how it's coming along, and the change of colour. i'm sick of orange!!
7 weeks into the build, hopefully i'll have the sva forms in this week

ps i know the steering rack looks odd i need to turn it over Rescued attachment red baron.jpg

Excellent mate well done, you have been a busy boy.
Doesn't look like you have to much major stuff left to do but as you know all the last little finishing touches take ages.

P.S. Good colour choice

ETA: I like the clear lenses on the rear lights.

Well done John, much easier the second time round eh?

The last few jobs always take the longest IMO...
