well....after a long time of not much (with sooooo much going on with renovating our kitchen and bathroom), I got the 140J ready to be lowered onto its own wheels again tonight!

and as you can see......the mighty J loves to be on top

Excellent cant wait too see it!!

Started bogging up the doors and guard the other night hopefully I can finish them tomorrow plus the front valance fuel flap and the windscreen cowl (the grill bit the window wipers come from) were missed in our haste to get the car to the soda blaster so ill have to sand/paint strip them tomorrow too. Busy little sanding day for me, hope the suns out.
