Been working on the roof getting it ready for glueing it on and blanked of front vents as to keep the water out.
You can probably guess what colour the ute is going now :)

Fantastic resto! Sat down this afternoon and read all 9 pages in one go. Love how nice you got all the lines on the doors and treasure chest. Well done for not having any panel or welding experience. :)
