X-pack resto.. just started..

[Troll]

OK, I have just done a quick gallery of the start of my resto on SKK (X-pack).

Unfortunately it needs a new OS sill, so the X-pack has to come off, so I thought sod it lets do this properly... no where to worthers std, but just tidy.

see http://www.147gta.co.uk/rs/xpack/Album1.htm

Let me know what you think.

shell has some strange things, not sure if its a converted LHD, although no sign og any holes in the bulkhead... weird.

i here by declare that it was not my idea to use a Swiss army knife

looks like youve been having fun today boys, its not too bad is it.

[grum]

its not too bad is it.


nope dave, sorry, mr robbo, its just your typical escort - start digging and you find a bit more a bit further on than where you were expecting to stop, ie. the heater bulge

apart from that it seems ok - there are more better bits than worse, so it shouldnt be too much of a problem

having said that, the tea and biscuits were a little backward in coming forward s'afternoon

shell looks ok from my sofa, xpack looks arse to remove tho
