damn, good work. That would be a throw-away job in New Zealand.

It costs megabucks to get replacement panels over here so its not worth all the expense. Unfortunately due to that a few more morries bite the dust than what should

My goodness Eveline - you put me to shame, I have a few minor jobs to do to get my Traveller Benny back on the road - never seems time to get it done, whilst you and your guys are doing a fabulous job - keep it up, this could be the inspiration Ive been waiting for!

Not with the money that the freight companies want! The parts are generally half to 65% the new zealand retail price but then the freight companies take their share and it makes it too expensive to get bulky items like replacement panels are repair sections. I get wiring looms, rubbers and that sort of thing from the UK in one bulk order though as they arent too bulky. I need to make an order soon as well.

I would second that, the large or heavy items are generally only something to look at and wish. The price and service has been great for other parts from the UK.
An example - To get some locally available parts from a big parts supplier here was going to take about 2 weeks to get to the store from their warehouse 160 km away. I went home and ordered from the UK and had them at my door 4 days later at 3/4 of the NZ price, air freight included.

Looking good!

One thing worries me - why have you painted the inside (i.e. friction surfaces) of the brake drums? You will get next to no grip from that - might want to take the paint off before use
