I have a lot of quite small plans that should add up to a fairly radically different buggy.

Just remember that you are going to need at least two people to ease the tub when you refit.  I think you might want to do the body painting in two stages if you are glassing the pods in.
paint the interior, fit the cage, then mask it up and glass and paint the exterior.
I am a MASSIVE bender...  Tubes of course.

Right now I have got project CAMO back home, I can get back to the main event- Body prepping :(
Had an hour with my new electric random orbital with some 120 grit & got this far ::)


Nicki is at work Saturday & Sunday so I can have 2 full days at the body. Not sure how far I will get though :D

On a positive note the 120 is not gouging the gel but it is slow. All the old paint has to come off as I am using the polyester paint route as championed by Mel & some others
