The outside of the hull is now re primed ready for green , motor coming out next week , then tidy up the inside ready for green as well . Then start to fit her out .. I've been working on the floor plate in spare time at home . In the second photo you can see when I removed the crank handle cover at front , I found some light yellow WW2 paint would this be faded camo or desert yellow . Dale

Looking good!
Looks pretty good there Dale, hey I hadn't noticed before but all the LP carriers Iv'e seen over here have the lifting hooks at the rear welded on, was riveting an Aussie thing?

Lew, It was a surprise to me when I arrived at Colin Jones's place in Adelaide, how different some of the Australian carriers are to the ones at home.
Here are a couple of shots to show spot welding. These must be Met Gas.
