Inspiration = Non-transferable

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

- Nick/Braasy

always beers in the fridge Braasy - you know me!

Popped out today to see some progress
- Boot & bonnet ready for paint
- 1 guard been fitted up
- drivers door 3/4 done

Another week or two and should be ready for final prime & block back



Boot had a few wee woops in it, but already for paint now:


Drivers door, few lumpy beats beaten out and new outer lower skin fab'd up
already had new inner lower fitted

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!....

Nice work

These Coupes are a real labour of Love

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

Hey man I feel that pain. Im working Monday to Saturday and while I have the motivation I do t have the time?!!!

At least its still getting there with small progress, mines sitting there blatantly neglected. Dont feel to bad. Itl work out

What's another few months?
Better it gets done right 1st time. By now you must be about ready to buy another datto to take to hanmer?

Nice one mate, cant wait for mine to look even close to this stage of build. Although i havent even emptied all the boxes of parts out yet, but soooooon

sorry to hear your getting stuffed around, I have been quietly waiting for progress on this

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.....
