Hope you like, after toying with the idea of a funky colour I kept going back to good old Ford Diamond white, and glad I did.

Will leave it for a few days before we polish it up & get all the doors etc painted.

Lots to do!

Couldn't resist !

Had to fit the rear lights to see how it looked!

Still undecided, may fit standard lights all round.

The Euro rear lights are so much better than standard rears (bias I know)

Everyone is on the standard light band wagon. Don't join them! Lol

Got a few things done today.... Dropped off all the nuts, bolts & brackets to be zinc plated. Also got all the tanks to the powder coaters.

Started to fit a few parts but needs a flat & polish so will only be fitting the doors, boot & bonnet.

Battery tray is ready to fit fully painted the bulk head with it off so we could get it covered properly.

Hopefully all the body work will be done this week.
