This is probably the only bit which is stopping me driving it. Hopefully have this front end bit done by the end of the weekend, hopefully nothing apocalyptic will happen between then and now

Get your dad to build a garage Steve then you won't have to be trailing an extension out in the cold.

Looks great. White wheels and roof look a bit out of place though.

No point if outside is going black in the summer might as well start now

Besides when all the trim is back in you can hardly see any of that painted metal anyway
