Did it pass its MOT Russ?
No seriously it's always good to hear the engine firing up and moving under it own steam. What colour are you going for?

That's a nice colour and an unusual choice too. It looks very similiar to Savannah Beige on my old VW Camper. A really good retro colour in my opinion. Have you got a colour scheme for the tilt? My van is Willow Green (a Mini colour) and my pick up is Teal Blue. Look forward to seeing the ongoing progress.
