Never said there was anything wrong with the name. Car's getting a new lease of life and should be given a new name. Again, up to the owner of the car, only giving my opinion.

Instead of "Stud" and given its history maybe "Flop" is a good choice. :mrgreen:

Bit dent in the back below the petrol cap......

Image

Removed tank pushed out dent and refitted tank. Just a small skim of filler when front being painted to finish off.

Image


Front drivers side wing in bad way
Image

Bit better now. Still might replace.... depends on what Karl in Bracken Autobodies says
Image

Back looking bit better now with new bumper and light lens...

Not back right yet but getting there..... Going to get the panels from Ian in MiniQuip and finish the front and then it be back on the road.
We took it for a drive after sorting out some wiring ect and it seems to be driving well. I even drove it back down to Marks house about 3 miles from here. Saved the hassle of loading it back on truck.

As He looks now......

I'm sure Mark will be on later and add something more...

Are they the original tyres! Even in the dry you'd find it hard to stop. Good to see it's getting the TLC it deserves...keep up the good work.
