Would be great if you could run a half day workshop and charge a fee ... a few of us would be interested ... but distance is against us.

Again, well done on your innovative restoring skills.

I am definately no expert on the matter
Just a bit of trial and error

Wouldn't be worried about a fee
I would be glad to show anyone how i did it (right or wrong way)
Just let me know ,grab some rivets ,put your bits and oxy set in a trailer and come on up

Be glad to have a working bee in the shed and a bit of a bbq and maybe a few drinks as well

restoration is always better with a bit of company

Max -Sounds like a good project -Is it one to keep Howards company ?

c60l chassis had a trip to the sandblasters today and I gave her a coat of primer tonight

c60l and c8 chassis got a colour coat this weekend
60l colour was good but will be getting a better colour match for the c8

Andrew,

Excellent work on the rivits...I just checked Youtube, but I haven't been able to find your DIY rivit video's yet

Both chassis' look great with a little paint on them. It's hard to judge the colours in the pictures, but I think the green looks pretty good, although maybe a little too light. I mixed and painted some colour samples according to Mike Starmers receipe a week or two ago and the green comes pretty close to yours, although a bit darker if I remember correctly.

Fairly close this time i think

a fair bit darker with less gloss ,original engine cover inside provided the colour

A J The old hills hoist is good for small bits up to doors as you can give each one a hit as it comes around, one coat at a time, no mess , the grass looks greener too. Mum will never notice, ha ha.
