Great thread, it's looking fantastic. Cool that you had an AC unit working, I'm trying to get an AC unit hooked up in mine in time for next summer too, a DPD one with a few upgraded parts.

Superb, lots of pics, and that`s what we like. The boss looks very pleased with the progress also. The colour looks wonderfully shiney and they always do with the new paint, as it sort of ties all the things together that you`ve done. Excellent work as always. Looking forward to hearing this one is back on the road again visiting all these far off places that you tell us about :mrgreen:

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, These places sound so exotic :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

With the drop spindles,, contact Graham at Midland Early Bay, he does the French Slammer stuff. He knows Early Bays, and you can trust him .
