Inspiration = Non-transferable ;)

I eagerly await seeing this beast in the flesh again! Might even come visit next month if you're around Kitch? :D

Called past my panelbeaters today, good to see that they are still beavering away on the panel repairs.
few tidy up jobs to do still, and still need to flare the shithouse taiwenese front guards.
All going well, we will be ready for final primer & block back at weekend.

Starting to get exciting!.... :D

Frustrated, waste of time post to get my thread off page 3 of build threads!

The old story of waiting for the panel beater..........

My supposed 4-6 week turn round for final repairs, block back & final paint, is now into 13th week.... sigh.....

Still waiting on lipping the front guards and couple of minor tidy ups. The painter has dressed & final blocked back the roof & pillars, and it is looking absolutely perfect

Trying to be patient... but now realise Akaroa 2014 is out the window, and if not finished soon, I will not see the road this summer :(

Wal, like the old mainland cheese add goes: all good things take time.....

I am just worried I will be the age of one of those old retired farmers in that add by the time it is finished.....
