Alway good to see updates showing progression as  people buy with good intentions then proceed no further. 
Getting the rolling pan done fires enthusiasm for getting the body on and having a sit in or drive, you have a lot to do on the shell but keep us updated.

The rear tyres off that lawn mower would look good on the front of your new build...

Thanks for your feedback Hugh. It was meant to be a 10yr slow build but I got a bit motivated. The Neil of Steel buggy build on You Tube really got me fired up to get things done. Trying to get this road registered which over here can be a bit of a challenge so wanted to make sure it didn't look slapped together.
Hmmmmm had'nt thought about the mower wheels. It goes faster at the moment.

Ha ha I'm also old enough to remember Skippy, quite tasty really

Will do Snoopy, my last build stalled a bit but I got there in the end. A 1974 V8 Torana coupe. This one was actually meant to be a long build but as I did things it just looked better so the motivation kept coming. Winter coming here now so a bit of shed time might just be on the cards.

Your winter is like our summer, get on with it
