Thanks for the offers Busy and Baz, but I've already given Sterling's the go ahead to re-sleeve the cylinder in stainless steel. As Russell says it's well worth doing.

Hey Bas, that van really suits you  :) :)

Thanks for dropping by today, you always inspire me to keep going. Just got the brakes to bleed and then she is back on the road. I'm hoping to sneak a few hours off work on Tuesday to get my wheel alignment adjusted.

Thanks for the feedback Wendy and Gunning.

Gunning, the mags are 8 inch wide Cheviots dating from the late '70s. I previously had 7 inch wide ones on the front, but the Stubtech dropped stub axles narrow the front track to the point where I can just squeeze an 8 inch wide rim under the standard front guards. I'm now running Ford stud pattern all around which makes things easier. I love the look of the deeper dish on the 8Js.

Beaut photo's Gordon, what have you done to the roof? the wells have been smoothed.... big job...did you get this done? I'm going to do the same for a sunroof but just use a large new sheet and taper the "tabs" to weld in and fill the wells...Awesome!
Can I go play now...?

Must just be a trick of the light in my shed Dano as the roof wells are standard. Makes sealing the sunroof a bit tricky, but I don't have any leaks .. touch wood.
