Wow Jay - that's fantastic...!
You'll have to let me into your secret as to how you found the time to do it alongside juggling childcare for your littl'un....I never seem to find anytime at all!.

hi moggyminor
a traveller one would be easier as you could leave the roof on.

If you are still not happy with the paint finish, try rubbing down with 1200 wet and dry, then tcut, and finally polish.

Have you left the fuel tank in? With a bit of flexible pipe you could hitch it up to Mildred and double your range in one fell swoop....... :D
In fact with an additional power take off from somewhere, you could create the worlds first articulated Moggy...... :D :D
