How's this coming on Jim? Looks like you've done a mountain of work so far, looking forward to seeing it all come together. Whereabouts are you? I've had some interest in my other car, so as soon as that's sold I can get on the hunt for one and get started.

Annoyingly, a Sand Beige Sahara sold on eBay tonight for £2,850! Alas, didn't have the funds for it. If It had been next weekend it would have been mine, as it was absolutely perfect as a base.

Good job. I would love to do that someday. Can't wait to see it finished.
