Default parts trip- SA & back

Over the new year break I took a trip to South Australia to collect many of my parts that I will require. Also picked up items that I have collected over time for the Jeep and Chev.
Returned via Adelaide and stopped off to see Colin Jones and catch up with him and view his projects and current BIG truck project.

Since returning I have unpacked the trailer, made a mess in the workshop, packed away the mess and started work on the BGC.

With the good weather in the last few days I have pushed the hull outside and painted/re-sprayed the hull (except for the front interior compartment) with a 30% universal flattening base. This has resulted in a satin/low sheen affect. Not totally flat, but this will dull from the sun over time and also repel water a little bit better.
Also painted some smaller brackets that will go into the hull straight away.

This was the last task that I had to complete before placing the engine into the hull.
So I hope to get the engine into the hull very soon with my workshop floor crane.
