I'm happy to tow it up there, as it won't fit on the new transporter :(

According to the crew at Reading, we have brakes and power, and a new windscreen 8)

Billy has painting facilities so perhaps the roof could be painted.

Shall we use this thread for the attendance list then?

Hi Billy, we will definitely take you up on the kind offer of using your facilities, but I think we all agree that we best wait for the weather to warm up a bit!

Hoping we can do something for mid march.

Now it looks like the worst of the weather is clearing, it might be a good time to get re-started on the project lads.

Perhaps we should select a weekend this month, subject to Billy Boy's approval, and have another get together.

The van will need to be dragged from Reading to Northampton, unless a willing forum member is prepared to transport it in advance, on the Friday before, so we will need a 'Steersman' who is prepared to leave their vehicle at Reading and then be driven back to Reading later that evening to collect their vehicle.

I will contact Billy Boy again regarding any 'dates to be avoided' but we need to get some member's names down for the weekend.

I would hope that those who wish to work on the vehicle interior will be in attendance but I know that Billy has offered the use of his paint booth to enable the roof to be completed, so an ideal opportunity for any members who wish to be involved in the painting to get along.
So, if you want to learn how to paint, get yourself along and 'hone' your skills.
