Hi there Phil!

Nice blitz... I hope it finds a good home. One thing I did notice is that the rear cab widow canvas curtain is acutually upside down.
The shot straps are for the roaps to secure it to the cleats on the rear outside corners of the cab and the long staps are used to secure it when rolled up to the hooks on the fixing plat for the curtain inside the cab.

Phil...

Hey thanks Rynoki for setting up a short cut for my pictures, when it comes to computer I'm not that flash, so it's very much appreciated.

Bugger I had the widow flap up the right way the first time.

I'm open to resonable offers on the truck, I have always liked Blitz's just it is too big a project for me ( motorbikes are more my size for restoring ) even though not a lot needs to be done and it would be better to go to someone that can finish her of.
