Most of the smaller parts I have already sand blasted but I'll wait until I have all the small parts done so I can undercoat them all at once.

I have previously made just about all the generally missing bits, ( Boxes, covers, jack holders, gear change parts) and lots more so this carrier will have a mix of original parts and my repo's. I will keep you informed as to my progress
Colin.

Did you find the reassembly instruction booklet too?

I have visions of some Swedish IKEA furniture pictogram with a little man and an Allen wrench, except he's an old Aussie cobber with a felt hat.

Hi Colin,

Impressive work, especially on the repro stuff. I'm envious of you and what you've achieved, and I look forward to following your progress.

Regards,

Matt.
