Marvellous job Dave you must feel very chuffed.
 I wish there some more active Humbering in the UK like that. There are just a few good examples around but we don't see them very often. Pigs survive a bit better but don't see many of them & most that do turn up for re-sale have had the originality knocked out of them by owner's embellishments & idiosyncrasies.

Nothing like a little bit of rework. After comparing the Cab and the tray it was discovered that I had two shades of Deep Bronze Green and that the finish detracted from the cab
 So, made the only decision that I could and have started to redo the tub, as you can see it is now in primer ready for its final sand and then two coats of Deep Bronze Green to match the cab. At least it will be well protected with all the layers of paint. Also took the opportunity to fill all those little marks, dents and scratches that you only see when you top coat. Well, at least that happens to me. If you search back through the thread you will see the tub when I thought that it was all done, oh so long ago. Dave.

Transmission Tunnels showing the repaired and painted tin work. Had a lot of trouble locating the original Felt heat lining which was then painted (I think) so sourced the vinyl lining which has a heat proof backing this is a Mercedes Benz product.
A real pain to fit into the vehicle and the covering does not follow all the contours correctly, however, they look fantastic and finish the cab off beautifully. I am hoping that the covering will settle once a bit of heat gets to it and makes it a little more malleable. Cheers, Dave.
