Ditto what Karl says. Would be a nice little earner on the side.
It's looking superb, btw.

Don't people put up their project cars on SN to show what they are doing with it? Why is it such a problem with someone exhibiting his work progress on a piece of wood?
Its Uncle "Robin" buck.
Did you honestly expect anything else from one so insecure and socially challenged?
Seriously great work Geoff
Requires
real skill to do that

Thanks very much, DD. I can certainly take constructive criticism, but his sniping was getting out of hand.

Sorry, I only signed up to Scoobynet to lurk really. I have my sights on a lovely 56 Reg Subaru Impreza 2.5 WRX-STI TYPE UK. Just have to convince the 'trouble and strife' it's a sensible car to own
The course I did was run by Adam King, you might have heard the name?
Cheers
