tbh mate no idea,


hopefully at a guess id say

4 weeks at karls - fabwork and put in primer ( unsure on the stonechip yet )

then save for prep n paint hopefully painted by the end of febuary ,

march - fit running gear , tall block , gearbox , diff ,shafts , carpets , kit ,glass ect ,


all depends on pennies really , but id like to have it painted rolling and showable for central day ,

should start one of them donation links pmsl !!
