[chugga boom]

atleast i havent said i want a lancia truck or bus yet........hang on lads......i got an idea i could get the others in the back of a truck

[rogerelias]

Coming on very well,  a good couple of weeks of prep, till near for primer i should imagine keep up the good work both.

[chugga boom]

still a load to do on the body before i think about preparing the main shell, need to make a tailgate yet and finish the back of the cab and floor area, also the sides that have already been welded in need making wider to look right, the doors are also too tight in the door apartures and the bonnet is VERY out of shape, so plenty to do yet, wings are coming along nicely, sending wheels off for blasting this week ang hopefully i will get running boards and bonnet back, i will keep you all posted 

[chugga boom]

think i'm gonna take a break on the beast and get my augusta wings finished and fitted as they have sat around for toooooooo long now, was hoping to get the truck on the road this summer but too many irons in the fire etc at the mo so i'll do a little more on the gussy 1st i think........JOHN TURNERS FAULT....... HONEST

You got as far as colours yet?  The two tone works well on that model.

If you need company on the collection trip tp Brindisi Iam game.

Just looked it up and Brindisi is a LONG way for most Italians to go - so it might be a bargain for the English nutter prepared to "go the extra mile"...

Then again - how many of these things do you really need ??   But what has logic to do with any of this anyway

I'LL SEND THE RUDDLERS!!!!!!! 

[chugga boom]

just did a route planner ( for curiosity! ) its only 1597.8 miles and as long as the roads are clear and i dont stop for breaks it should only take me 25hr 13 mins to get there  not exactly a day trip is it!!

I know the Boy-Friday is too young to drive - do you have a Boy-Thursday or do you just pull the wool over Warby's eyes and send him?

David

PS - Collected your wings from John Turner today and they're fantastic.
