I've been restoring my buggy for 3/4 years, it turned up on my doorstep unexpectedly and then it all went from there!

You can read what I've been up to over here http://beachbuggies.wordpress.com/the-build/

Well since you insist...

Many of you probably remember my buggy looking a like this



Then once upon a time, on the 16th of Feb  ;) it was packed up, and sent away to a dark dark country!



The next day, Paddy got to work on his latest mission...





Etched.



Out of sight from the misses!





2ish coats of filler primer later and he was finished for the day!

Well I doubt it'll be that completed. It'll be on the road in a week or two, probably on a trailer again rather than it's own chassis.

I just can't wait to see it in orange, thanks again Paddy!  8)

All being well i will try and get another 1 1/2 coats of primer on as i have been filling and rubbing down, so lots of patches all over it atm and dust. If all is well after that then fingers crossed it may be done sunday ? but its got to dry off for atleast a week before moving...
