Just got home, I only live 15 minutes away. Andy County 4x4 arrived earlier so weve been watching Nick do the business :lol:

We'll need someone to help finish welding the joint in the chassis, we noticed the front hangers are very crispy :( We'll be up there early, Andy's sleeping in his van tonight, so we're looking forward to seeing everyone :roll:

Well done lads, sorry I only made the Sunday, thanks for accommodating the project Nick, thanks for the burgers Andy, once again great deal of progress made. :D
That Nick is a magician with the filler, come on now lads, if you are in Essex and you need someone to do a bit of bodywork on the 'old girl', how about supporting a fellow forum member and sending FordBoyNick a pm.
