In the paint cabin waiting for its final coats of paint;So when I return from the it should be finished ...I really should be preparing the DHC for the 10CR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 The future is bright 😎Painting the sills, rear valances and rear light panel in matt (50%) black is scheduled for Thursday.Which means that by the time I return from the 10CR it should be ready and waiting for me in the shed.
