Jay, haven't had a look for a little while, but the wagon is looking VERY NICE.
As the others had said, colours are great.
The wooden wagon floor is also a great idea.
A nice effect that adds a bit of class, but not too way out.
Look forward to the final stages.

off knowing ive built the whole car on my own is priceless
especially since i have no auto trade skills its all self taught

To be able to say "I did it myself " is one of the best confidence boosters and you certainly have gained my respect and the respect of a lot of other forum members I'm sure for getting in and having a go and coming up with some good results.
Well done and keep going

Hi Luke there is a couple of side pics on page 17
l would love to push it out in the sun to have
a good look but my drive way is sloped down
and with no motor in it yet
i wouldnt get it back in
the shed

oh yeah, forgot about those pics.
i'd be itching to get it out too
my driveways only got a slight slope and its hard enough, wasn't bad with no engine/box though
.
i'd be stoked with the shine you had off the gun, but this final finish is amazing
(might have to get you down to spray mine for me
)
cheers, luke.
