Looks really good! What color is that?  I'm on my phone but it kinda looks like orange sherbet to me. Lol. I really like it tho!

Some firewall under reconstruction! :) Not as pretty as Vile's (green with envy) but it'll be tidy.

Well, slowly does it! A couple of hours here and there  :)

The more I get into it the more I find > filler/bondo over rusty holes etc!

Onto the roof next, I've had to cut out a rusty hole in the roof (!) and weld new in, just need to skim, prep and primer. Hope to have that done before Xmas  ;)

some pics of the rear of the cab.........

Just an update for you guys.

Cab's fully in primer, just need to flat off and sort the little dinks and donks I've missed (or made) after the major refabrication work. Didn't realise how much metal worm was in the pillars and the roof, but it's all cut out and re-fabbed and skimmed.

3x boxes en route from your side of the pond with interior trim bits incl new carpet (!) hood rubbers etc that are extremely difficult to get over here. Also on the way is a stainless bedless bolt kit-didn't fancy trying to clean off 30+ years of goo/paint etc and of course make it look that little bit prettier under the hood.

I have a weeks holiday booked from this weekend coming, a few chores to sort 1st (blame the missus) then it's flat out.

I aim to have the cab in colour (orange & black roof) by the time I have to return to work.

thanks for reading guys, I'll update soon!!

Andy

     Great job Bitzer, looking real good.  I like the orange color.  Keep up the good work.
