Bush Tucker Man:
Looks far bettter in (unadorned) green

davidlandy:
agree- great colour that green isnt it

Matt_H:
i had one of those "oh blast, why did i do this" after I'd scratched up all the panels with a drill mounted cup brush (didn't dare use an anglegrinder one!)

The green wasn't going on so well and I had a few runs.  Next day I rubbed back the runs and thinned the paint a little more and it went on fine.. OK so close up you can tell it's not a spray job (brush and roller), there are a few marks and thick bits, but with a bit of age and mud it'll look fine..  From about 4 feet it looks really good  (I hope it does anyway!)  besides how many people go up to 3inches and inspect the paint?  :shock:


Things to do...
Got to figure out how to fit this rear wheel carrier then I can get the mud club cover back on :)
Fit rear bench seat (£10 off ebay inc seat belts!)  There's a window on one side (helps pullig out of junctions) So the seat will face the window
Fit stereo
Refit CB aerial
finally.... Go mud plugging!

Matt_H:
oh, I'venot decided whether to paint the roof or not- thought it's easier to paint than to unpaint, and also liked the idea of it looking partly civvy.
