I`ll bring a couple of infra red heat lamps Paul so we can bake it under the awning on Friday night if its still a bit damp! Good luck with the painting and hope you get it all done in time.
By the way what sort of time do you envisage getting the WSV on site?

Probably mid afternoon with the WSV, got to tidy that up now as well, as held a car boot sale from it last weekend

When you getting there ? Are you taking the Wedge as well ?

Well we've now pushed it out of the workshop, spent most of the day cutting back and G3'ing it to get the shine. A few snags have appeared ( like we need to redo the bonnet as not an even coat - but it will now have to wait till summer is over )

Just got the rear end to do and put it all together. When's BBWF06 ????????

Looking good Paul. Please tell me that you are joking about the diesel bit though...

When you see the color in the flesh you will realise why I have binned the V8, as it is now loud stationary with the engine off
