LP2a SAR restoration

[Phillip]

Wiring is not my strong point so it has been with some relief that I have got the dash installed and that all the lights, horn and starter solenoid seem to be working.

Now just waiting on diff, engine and suspension parts to progress.

Thanks to Euan for the horn button. An original Spartan horn that has been sitting on the shelf for over 6 years looks the part and even makes some sound

She is looking very smart! You're doing a great job Phillip!

Thanks Mike,

As this carrier had very little paint left on it and nothing from which I could discern the pattern, I figured I had some licence to adopt the NT colour scheme.

The grey is is as close as I could find to the AWM sample and has been correctly applied using a brush (with stokes at right angles to the line of the curve) over the green. With a bit of practice, it's surprisingly easy to get the curves and they have this sort of slightly sharp/ slightly feathered edge.

We'll all look forward to some overall images in due course. In the meantime, great work.

Hey Phil, looking good and up to your usual high standard. My favorite colour too, Envy Green.
I'm sure there's a rule somewhere about only painting carriers green and brown
Awesome work!
