Does anyone check out updates or am i doin i wrong

I've looked at the updates. Great work you are doing there, you are braver than most tackling this sort of project.

I'd love to have your skills for sure.

Des
 
sure do check updates, but havent got anything to say but wow :)

BTW whats that insulation in the front, under the seats etc ?
 
First time I've seen this one, looks fantastic so far!
Thought you'd keep the high top like?
Please tell me you saved the funky retro curtains tho!?!?!?
 
i would have kept the hightop but the steel roof was shot and once id replaced the roof didint have the heart to chop the middle out and no i didnt keep the curtains just dont go with green lol
 
another piccy update mostly my own work .an old neighbour has done a fantastic job of my seat cushions and another dude si has jumped in to help me finish and paint me cabinets
