Finally got Ralph's face back together at the weekend wdesmle



no pics but this week after work I'v stripped down the front wings, rubbed down and etch primed ready for painting soon before the weather gets too bad and so they can then be refitted once everything else under the bonnet area is done  :Dancing-Chilli1group:

Looking very nice, what colour etching primer are you using under red? I have a bit of fire truck I may rub down and paint in bright red, I have plenty of drab green etch which I use for most applications as its proper lead/oil based and sticks to awt, but was just wondering what you were using  rbchn

More progress this weekend, first off yesterday was to paint the wings, bonnet and front apron with the  Ginger paint.





And whist they was drying the new vent seals were also fitted.



Followed by fitting the new (£££) Steve Parker exhaust.



Once dry the bonnet was first to be refitted yesterday along with the front apron too   wdesmle



Today the roof and upper rear body was all realigned and fitted better, along with Jimmy74 popping by to help and see how the oil cooler pipes needs to be shortened too, ending up with the passenger side wing refitted too  wdesmle

This is the first time I've caught up with Ralph's thread - judging by your opening statement I'd guess you have a habit of rolling Landies?!! Lucky that Norfolk is flat, otherwise I'd be getting seriously worried about taking Mattilda out with you on the Christmas Doo... wdesmle
