The DVLA still thinks this is green, nobody has told them about the recent respray.!!






If your bored, play spot the errors, with the above vehicle, front badge is wrong, that one's off an FG Morris lorry, 2 of the six DZUS fasteners on the front panel missing and holes filled, Rear vehicle badge, looks odd and is in the wrong location, no door retaining spikes on rear wings, Cab interior unpainted, wrong side lamps fitted or wrong lens. We could go on, at least its on the road but if I'm going to pay over £2K over the odds for the van, it should at least be correct!

MORRIS MINOR PROGRESS.
Further work has been going on as we enjoy the mini heat wave, yes the filling and sanding has been completed on the off side rear of Polly B pickup. a quick coat of zinc based primer has been applied to it, as I'm not sure when I will get back to paint it!
I'm letting Caroline choose the colour, well its going to be green, the shade is up to her!!!

As you can see the brick has been removed, the gap between tailgate and pick up side is alright on the off-side, so we must now turn the vehicle round and repeat the repairs to the nearside.
