Hi guys,
Thanks for the kind words.
It was great to have Mark and Steve over for a chat, a beer and to push the wagon outside for some photos and to get an idea of how the new lines look.
After seeing Mark happy with the result so far, I felt motivated to get that sill job finished up.

and then reconstructed the lower seal contour.

Nice pics Steve.

Cheers

All in good time Mark. I'm not ready to jump into a project just yet... but I'm happy playing on yours for a while. Keen to get back into custom motorcycles, and build another streetfighter first.

Nice Job Ed, good to see it outside and the new profile. :D I like it.
looking forward to seeing the two chopped wagons together, our profile will be a little different, with a more sloping rear end.

Cheers, Graham
If in doubt..chop it.

x2, I did exactly the same Mark. Just need a little heat gun work to remove where the bracing usually is on a factory floor. You'll see it in the moulding when you get the carpet.

Ed you've done a fantastic job on Mins wagon, yourself and Mark must be pretty stoked the way it's turned out.
I'm mighty impressed the way you have sunk the rear cargo glass, can't even tell, and I think the proportions spot on.
I reckon theres one happy chappy in Junee alright :wink:

Regards John
