Toad 0 Posted September 13, 2008 well done toad, let me know when you do the bodywork. I'll bring up some white hammerite tins and some rollers. Lol. Cheers! going to try to get the paint cut back, then work out which panels need paint soon. Picked up some new wheels from Shaggy today (Cheers Fay). Mocked one up and quite like it... Going to touch the wheels up a bit before fitting them, but thy're a far better base than my old speedies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
