Because I have a steel frame, and had to use rivets to help attach the ply to it i had to find a way to disguise the rivet and screw heads.

I need a new Avatar. I'd put my dog up there but she doesn't look much like me. She's the skinny one.

Slang for Registration. I guess that is what you guys call it.
Papers from the government to say it can be on the road.

Righto
The wiring is as far advanced as it can be,
Insulation is complete, most of it done by my 14 year old son, nice work junior.
The cladding has been delivered today and I have started to make up a template to cut out the guards.
This, while it is a very exciting stage is giving me a bit of concern, measured everything 100s of times, only time will tell.
