   That looks excellent; love the colour, hope I can get a finish something close t that!!!
At last, I have found some time t spend on the Beddie; race car has been taking precidence (still sitting on stands, waiting for a new g/box)

Spent all day t/day grinding out and repairing old bog job on left front guard (Rust is an evil thing eh!!) Also adapted Sigma front blinkers in t get rid of those "oops" horrible Beddie ones!!!

Hope t have the front quarter finished and primed by Friday----- Will post some pics soon!
Cheers Brian & Carole
P.S.  Can't believe, I've only got about 25 days t make this thing look a little "respectable"

Had my arse cemented to the lounge for the last few days as got my knee fixed
surgeon went in and found a train wreck and instead of back to near normal in a week now no weight on the leg for minimum three weeks BUGA!
thought this would be a good chance to save some pennies but NOOOOO I'm playing on ebay, don't have the paypal password (wife not that silly) but it has only slowed me and cramped my style not stopped me........  hahahahaha.......

Well I had a huge day at work  on sat anyway the beddy ran out of fuel (gas guage not accurate cause still got someone elses gas tank in my van) anyway made to a petrol station but no gas arg!!!! So I put some petrol in  thee tank a bit more in a bottle. Have not ran the van on petrol for ever! Anyway I had to really think about but I was able to get the petrol up to the carby by running it on gas and petrol at the same time. While its running on gas its dragging the petrol up. Until it starts running on both. Haha then explosions start coming from the carby. But not enough petrol to run on just petrol so perservered until about 10 mins got her running above 2500rpm petrol. Drove 8 kms to the nearest servo with gas. That was heaps of excitement  for the day. Thinking ill make a 10 litre petrol tank now out of fibreglass just for emergencys and mount it I bonnet or something. Who knows..

Cheers
