Erm I'm hoping so, but far from certain at the moment, got a couple of tricky snagging points to sort yet, plus canvas to sort and I still have no cab door handles....
What about yours, will that be ready?
Cheers
Neil

In a nod to its original colour, got stickers for both current colour and original one
So in 4 weeks from collecting it, it now starts, stops, steers and most of the lights work, we took it up the street for s cheeky little test.
Then onto getting more of interior back in

Left to do !
Get the hairdryer out and stretch the trim back on the doors to close the gap.
Coming on nice Neil, I'm sure you will be at Vic farm
