Well after 18 months in a baja my passion for another buggy was to strong so the baja went to a new home and my new gp is home just getting the garage ready before I start but this time more focused.

I’m excited for you Bear but like Snoopy you’re having to put some decent ‘foundations’ in.

But you get full marks straight away for having some art on your garage walls !

on the bright side with tub and pan cut in 2 you can now make it any length you want not just the GP 400 mm shortening.

You should see my loft Hugh boxes of art well that’s what I call it kath calls it junk

Well try periodically rotating your art store via your garage walls and Kath might occasionally see some merit in the odd item.

Art enhances your living environment and it’s so impressive you have included your working garage walls.

Slower process than I’d hoped for but finally joined it back together.

The body is worse than I thought lost its shape no show winner due to my poor Bodywork skills but it’s mine and will give me smiles.

It's called 'personality' and I quite like the dusty/rusty orange tone, or are you going for a fancy metal flake ?

👍🏻 A non perfect body is fine there is less worry about potential damage so care free fun.

Spot on mate, that's the attitude. After all you built it for you no-one else and it's a buggy so you'll still get noticed and all the right responses
