That’s a bugger mate, how did you manage that ?

Bonnet fits on 2 pegs so you have to spread the bonnet to get it on, and it cracked one of the repairs that I had done 😡

Realy pissed of got bonnet on today, and then cracked it

Engine in

That will be well under weight

I think if you blast them you will end up with dust chris 😂

Bit sad paul ,but she was in pain, she let me know yesterday that she had had enough, so ime in the market for a new one if you hear of anything, it’s a sad day

Had to put my faithful old friend down today had her from new 16 years, your be sadly missed

Bit more done 

I decided to paint the black bits instead of vinyl because I have always found you get creases when you do large areas

I will put the decals on later

I’d want it wrapped in silver paper with gold ribbons at them price’s 

Yep but you imagine rubbing that lot down priming it all then paint, hours and hour of work and would still cost me money, so why it was away I serviced 2 ride-ons and that payed for it 😄

Been looking at the other front wheel with a dodgey valve hole and decided that as i have a spare half of a wheel I might as well use it.

The second one was easier as I’ve done one  before, all i have to do is drill a hole for the valve, or fit a tubeless tyre, 

Still need a valve for a tubeless tyre 😂

Where do I start

When ive worked with fibre-glass cars we had to use a epoxy primer and then a 2 pack special primer for fibre-glass. I can't remember what it was called but I remember it was a lot of work, the rest of it will look nice You'll have to work at the bonnet to match the rest of it.

Yep but I’ve always got away with it beforewith the trojans and the ranger this one just hasn’t got a gel coat on

I’ve had a massive problem with the bonnet I can see why John Deere went to plastic, this one is fibre glass and the gel coat is none existent every time you flat it strands of fibre glass fall out and it leaves a spiderweb pattern and it looks like big grooves in it I’ve flattened and primed it 3 times now

But on a brighter note all my powder coating came back and I’ve started to put the deck back together

Yep my one is the one Angus has got , it’s knackard so if you can find it ewan that would be realy helpful

well done Norm 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
