Get new roof on cabby, cannot be bothered to source what I was after. So gonna go for it.
Need a compressor and spray gun to do paint work.
Hint hint jelly lol and some good weather to use it.
Got a little project lined up, but need the weather for that.

I have held off getting my ticket and other bits like a new blow up bed, as I got hospital on the 12th, so not sure what will be said. I hope that any treatment I have don't interfere with the AGM. :0(

Be a shame if you don't manage to make it fella.
Was looking forward to seeing your efforts etc.

Bits for my little project on the way to me now.
Paint ordered for car.
Bought a clipper kit off e bay last year super cheap.
Only just in wrapped it to find only one of the arch covers is actually useable grrr.
So now got to sort that out.

Rocker cover gasket swapped for the mk3 one thanks to Daves mate.
No more leaky cork gaskets…
No doubt theirs more to add
