Chores done  ;D

Prepped and painted the inside that shows, black. Tomorrow should see the cab in orange and the roof in black on Saturday fingers crossed.

Pretty pleased with the prep work considering the grief I've gone through and limited space to work in. I'm guessing at 2foot either side of the truck!

Got myself some better doors and "dry fitted" to make sure they lined up. One didn't fit! I discovered a previous owner had tried to repair a door shut and made it too narrow so skimmed a few mm off each side of the door! unreal.

Time for some z's

Hope to update with pics Sunday  ;)

A few more for y'all. The roof is black and with a good cut & polish it'll gleam (and lose a couple of runs!)

It's getting there  :)
