ok so i decided i dont like the silver and its going to be repainted when i get back from the cruise

. so we blew a quick finishing coat over everything last night. a missing crank seal is all thats stopping the engine from going in, but that just showed on the courier

so i can start screwing everything back together again. will send a few pics thru to brayden tonight sometime.

list to be done before the cruise:
engine in!!
lights and misc panels back on
refit all door/glass rubbers
glass back in the doors
new windscreen
interior back together
rwc done
rego and insurance
and a heap more im sure....
