This is my current project, it is a 1968 Woody Estate called Toad. Will keep this up to date with photos over the next few months



This is what it looks like now, the wood kit was fitted in order to drill all the holes in the right places...

Obviously what Sy meant to say was "this is our current project"...... He'll soon learn, the day I stop doing any work on the car might be a nudge in the right direction.... hehehehe

It's certainly getting there now, but I'm still in a state of denial at the amount of work we have to do before the Riv Run!!!

Fantastic news Amy!!!! Hopefully when we come over to see you, Toad will be sprayed and you'll have started putting him back together again

It's been ages since we had any real progress on the woody estate....

I have started to apply the top coats of paint this weekend. First of all the car was sanded back, this is the last time it will be seen in primer

Then the top coat went on, first of all i did the sills and rear valance, followed by the bulkhead, then the car was lowered to the ground and the insides were painted

It's very difficult to get a good picture in that garage, as its very dark. The colours is actually a very light green, but it looks a bit like primer in the photos...
